SEMI-RETIRED
For at least two years, I have, principally because of dissatisfaction with the increased willingness of the Arbitration Committee and many senior members of our admin corps to subvert the will of the community, substituting their judgment for that of our editorship and readership, compromising the fundamentals of our project (even as they have not infrequently been right), done most of my editing while logged out, continuing to peruse RfA, AN, XfD, DRV, VP, and BN but spending most of my active time in mainspace, and recent events have been even more disillusioning, such that it's now fair to say that I do not expect to be involved in project-space going forward and that I can now, qua Jahiegel (I will continue to contribute to mainspace anonymously), be termed "retired"; I eschew {{retired}} only because I cannot rule out my logging in to !vote in RfAs or polls that remain meaningful to me.



Proposed deletion of Damian McGinty

edit
 

The article Damian McGinty has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one reliable 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.

Portal:American football userfication

Hey there. I'd like to expand Portal:American football, which you have maintained, as I believe I can help expand to it. I would, however, need to userfy it due to my time constraints. Because of this, I have nominated it for deletion here. All the best, Buggie111 (talk) 02:34, 4 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Portal:Golf/Selected biography/11

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 Portal:Golf/Selected biography/11 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 Duplicate of Portal:Golf/Selected biography/04. 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.
