Nomination of Becca Kufrin for deletion

Hi ApprenticeFan, Why did you nominated Becca Kufrin for deletion?Lbtocth (talk) 17:52, 7 March 2018 (UTC) Why do other previous bachelorettes have their own pages then such as Rachel Lindsay, Kaitlyn Bristowe, Andi Dorfman?Lbtocth (talk) 18:32, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Léopold Sédar Senghor and Blaise Diagne airports

Hello. Edits like these two ones [1] [2] require at least a source per WP:VERIFY. I added sources to South African Airways destinations [3] following this [4] edit of yours, but cannot continue adding sources to the rest of the articles.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 13:52, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Feels like a total confusion, on somehow we will go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Airports to discuss plans for its talk page. ApprenticeFan work 21:59, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jessica Graf

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 Jessica Graf 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 real person or group of people, but it 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Tony Vlachos

Hi. I have reverted your edit to Tony Vlachos. As you know, since you've been editing here for quite some time, Wikipedia requires citations of reliable sources for material added to its articles. Please do not add such material without them. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 14:58, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

May 2018

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at The Amazing Race 19, you may be blocked from editing. This follows hard on the heels of warnings for other disruptive edits. I wonder if you shouldn't be looking into Wikia. Drmies (talk) 01:32, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Eddie Van Halen's alleged Italian ancestry.

Please do not re-insert that information/category without justification. Thanks. PaulCHebert (talk) 17:19, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

June 2018

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Sro23 (talk) 02:14, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

OK. I concur this that I will be editing while log in. But I do certainly for continue to log out while editing with different IP address that may cause by block policy. I do understand in the future. ApprenticeFan work 02:19, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I occasionally edit logged out just to see what sort of reaction I get from people who Huggle first and ask questions later. See here for an example. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 15:59, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

Not true. She is listed on her pregnancy protected ranking of # 1 when she entered. ApprenticeFan work 23:13, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

English-Language Writing Skills

I can see that you are an avid contributor to the English-language Wikipedia, and that you and I share an interest in television. Unfortunately, many of your edits to prose content have introduced incomprehensible text to the project. I know that English is a second language for you, and I want to honor what I am sure is a significant amount of effort you have put into both your studies of the English language and your edits to Wikipedia. It's clear that you do have a working knowledge of the language, which is more than many can say for a language other than their mother tongue. But the fact remains that many of the sentences you write in English are not comprehensible. Your writing exhibits patterns of misused or missing prepositions (words like "on," "in," and "of") and articles ("a," "an," "the"), and run-on sentences or comma splices (where the subject and verb are unclear because the sentence contains more than one of either or both, without appropriate grouping). These kinds of errors may seem minor, but when they are so prevalent they are easily enough to make the intended meaning unclear, preventing copy-editors from fixing the problems. In particular, your edits to The Bachelorette (season 13) in May, which I just noticed, had a significant negative impact on the readability of the article. I can see that multiple users have been trying to engage with you on this matter for many years. I can also see that you have successfully made many constructive edits focused on very small-scale changes, such as updating tennis articles to reflect instantaneous changes to players' rankings, or wikilinking existing text. But I am asking you, as others have in the past, to please refrain from changing the structure of or making other significant textual changes to prose content (sentences and paragraphs) in English, unless or until you improve your use of English through continued study. --DavidK93 (talk) 17:00, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ulf Cedermark

The article Ulf Cedermark has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hi. Can you explain this please? --MarchOrDie (talk) 21:38, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

According to the transcript, the flight uses UTC instead of coordinating local time zone. The disaster started at between Atlantic time, which was an hour ahead of Eastern time. ApprenticeFan work 03:05, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

September 2018

Thank you for your contributions. One of your recent contributions to The Amazing Race Canada 6 has been reverted or removed, because it contains speculative or unconfirmed information about a future event. Please only add material about future events if it is verifiable, based on a reliable source. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:18, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

2018 US Open – Day-by-day summaries moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, 2018 US Open – Day-by-day summaries, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
