Adriana Valdés

I was working on the article on Adriana Valdés. Most of the sources are in Spanish, and I tried to read through the one from the Catholic University of Chile to add to the biography. My Spanish is fairly rusty, so I am not sure I did a very good job, and clearly only extracted the bare minimum of what it said. If you could look over this and make sure I did it right and see if there is any more useful information to find, it would be helpful.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:07, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

1861 establishments in Spain

I just created two articles in Category:1861 establishments in Spain on railway stations established that year from articles in the Spanish wikipedia. I used google translate and my rusty Spanish to start the articles, but there is more work to be done.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:40, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "GSXS1000F". The reason given for GSXS1000F's block is: " There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must: Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked. Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked. If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

AFDs

Hello, DavidLeeLambert,

If you would like to participate in AFD deletion discussion, it helps to ground your opinion in policy-based reason for deleting or keeping the article. It's more persuasive to the administrator who closes a discussion. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:32, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

If you're referring to AfD for Bob Crowley, for Natalie White, and for Tom Westman, by the time I joined the discussion there were already several citations to policy, and I didn't want to just restate those; but I thought an opinion on how to balance policy, or of other facors to consider outside policy (other than WP:IAR) might be helpful.

But there doesn't seem to be a policy specifically for "season winners of reality-TV shows", and it sounds like several !voters think there should be. What would the best way be to address that? A bold edit to WP:ENT? A discussion on the policy's talk page? Or some heavier-weight process, such as an RfC? DavidLeeLambert (talk) 17:54, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
