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 removed 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.

Your contributed article, Seatrade Maritime News

edit
 

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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Seatrade Maritime News. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Seatrade. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Seatrade – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 removed 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. INeverCry 22:33, 13 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Dubai Investment Park

edit
 

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 Dubai Investment Park, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 removed 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.

Madagascar Navy moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Madagascar Navy, 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.

CS1 error on Academy for Human Encounters and Dialogue

edit

  Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Academy for Human Encounters and Dialogue, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

  • A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 22:12, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Academy for Human Encounters and Dialogue moved to draftspace

edit

Thanks for your contributions to Academy for Human Encounters and Dialogue. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability, it has too many problems of language or grammar and it is promotional and reads like an advertisement. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. microbiologyMarcus (petri dish·growths) 17:57, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Dear Ms. Maryana Iskander,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you as the CEO of Wikipedia to request your assistance in reviewing a decision made by your team regarding the placement of an article on draft within Wikipedia's platform.

The article in question is titled "Draft: Academy for Human Encounters and Dialogue". As an organization dedicated to the promotion of knowledge and peace, Wikipedia holds a significant responsibility in shaping global discourse. It is in this spirit that I bring to your attention several key points regarding the article:

Wikipedia, as a platform hosted by a non-profit organization, is committed to fostering peace rather than conflict. The placement of articles should reflect this ethos, especially when considering content related to institutions promoting dialogue and peace-building.

It has come to my attention that while Wikipedia features numerous articles on war and military academies, articles spotlighting institutions dedicated to peace are relatively scarce. The decision to place the article on draft seems incongruent with Wikipedia's mission to provide a balanced representation of diverse perspectives.

The Academy for Human Encounters and Dialogue (AHD) is a notable institution with significant support from the international community. Notably, the United Nations General Assembly endorsed the establishment of the AHD with an overwhelming majority, voting 165–2 in favor of the proposal. Such recognition underscores the importance and relevance of the institution on a global scale.

Given these considerations, I kindly request your support in facilitating a thorough review of the draft article. By ensuring equitable representation and amplifying the voices of organizations committed to peace and dialogue, Wikipedia can further its mission of promoting knowledge and understanding across borders.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am hopeful that together, we can uphold Wikipedia's principles of inclusivity and peace-building.

Warm regards,

Georges Aoun
