Speedy deletion nomination of PhotoGuide Japan 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 PhotoGuide Japan 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 web content, 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 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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here.

Appropriate reference to content from a Public Blog? edit

When I Published my draft article on William McPherson Rice, I received a warning related to its inclusion of a link to a site known for hosting public blogs.
The note said that if I considered that the reference was not self-promotion or inappropriate, I could continue to publish the article.

The "Further Reading" section of the article contains 2 references:

  1. A link to a PDF scan in the Internet Archive of Rice's 1822 letter to the Admiralty reporting his analysis of the ancient vessel discovered on the river Rother (published in 1824)
  2. A transcription into HTML of the article above enriched with Maps and photographs of the actual places and terrain described in Rice's letter. The Blogger has an interest in History and, apart from the illustrations, their captions and attributions and hyperlinks to Wikipedia articles, has not altered the content or provided personal comment. The fact that the content is in HTML means that it can be searched and referenced, which the PDF scan cannot support.

For these reasons I consider it not inappropriate to include it.
This is the mark-up of the offending section:

Further reading edit

  • Rice, William McPherson (1822). "Archaeologia – Volume XX – 1824: Account of an ancient Vessel found under the old bed of the river Rother in Kent". Retrieved 8 July 2021.
  • Rice, William McPherson (7 September 2020). "Malaga Bay Web Blog Transcription (with additional illustrations) of Rice's Account of an ancient Vessel found under the old bed of the river Rother in Kent". Retrieved 8 July 2021.

Is there a better way of referencing a site that transcribes the work of an original author to HTML but does not claim authorship of it?

Orphaned non-free image File:1930s portrait of Josef Hartinger.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:1930s portrait of Josef Hartinger.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:22, 22 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for March 23 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Caroline Hussey, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Noonan. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:06, 23 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Irish Haemophilia Society 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 Irish Haemophilia Society requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://haemophilia.ie/ and https://haemophilia.ie/services-and-support/introduction-to-the-i-h-s/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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. >>> Ingenuity.talk(); 22:04, 24 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

February 2023 edit

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at BTSB anti-D scandal, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 15:57, 4 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

What are you about? I wrote practically every word of this article and have added copious references over many months. Last week I corrected some typos and awkward syntax of my own text. Not ever sentence added or modified in an article requires a reference. With which specific change do you have an issue? Hurlzzz (talk) 11:38, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
