Proposed deletion of Nicholas Winmar edit

 

The article Nicholas Winmar has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Ikh007 (talk) 10:51, 20 May 2011 (UTC)Reply


Please reference your articles edit

Hi there, thanks for creating AFL player articles, but one of the main policies on wikipedia is that all articles, especially biographies of living people, must have references to reliable sources. The easiest way to do this for the new pages is to just to use a news article from when they were drafted, and then one or two from when they made their debut. Have a look at how I edited the Nicholas Winmar, Cameron Richardson (Australian footballer) and some other similar articles. You can even cut and paste those articles and just change the names/dates/clubs etc to make writing articles much easier. Also, please ensure you don't do any edits like you did to Jeremy Laidler - that is vandalism and can get you blocked if it happens again. Cheers, The-Pope (talk) 15:20, 25 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

I'd like to re-inforce this, you need verfiable citations. Also, I'm getting a feeling of lacking NPOV. BTech United (talk) 02:02, 26 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Shared computer? edit

If you click on the "my contributions" link at the top of the page, you can see a list of all of your edits - including quite a few mindless vandalism edits. Could anyone else (a brother?) be using your account? If you do use a shared computer, make sure that you log out each time you leave it, or else this may occur again - and "It got hacked" isn't an acceptable excuse here - you have to ensure no-one else uses your account.

Ill tell you edit

I have been letting my brother use my account. I saw yesterday that my account was blocked for 48 hours. My brother would have done this. He vandalises things at school all the time. I will not let him EVER use my account again. I saw that the reason was vandalism. I will block him from entering the site Wikipedia. Please leave a message on my talk page if there if any more vandalism from my brother.

Speedy deletion nomination of Blake Bray 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 Blake Bray, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Blake Bray edit

 

The article Blake Bray has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.   ArcAngel   (talk) ) 01:30, 29 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges.

What? edit

Why in the world have I been banned?. I have done nothing wrong. It says that I have been banned because of vandalism. I previously let my brother use my account but I stopped letting him because he was vandalising and he was blocked for two days. I dont know how my brother got back onto my account. Bongwarrior, please unblock me because I have done nothing wrong and it is my brother. He keeps vandalising several computer websites with Mozilla Firebug and I keep warning him that he could get into big trouble for vandalism but he just keeps vandalising.

 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Speedy deletion nomination of Cameron Pedersen 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 Cameron Pedersen 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 person or group of people, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Greenmaven (talk) 04:25, 18 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
