August 2018 edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page James Veitch (comedian) has been reverted.
Your edit here to James Veitch (comedian) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://twitter.com/https://twitter.com/veitchtweets) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 12:31, 16 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

AfC notification: Draft:Charlie Martin (b. 1981) has a new comment edit

 
I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Charlie Martin (b. 1981). Thanks! Robert McClenon (talk) 01:23, 14 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Yes, Charlie is her legal name. She doesn't go by another name, but I can find her middle name if that would be a useful addition?

It would appear that the article currently listed as "Charlie Martin" actually relates to a racing driver who went by the name Charles Martin - and as such, could confusion be avoided by changing his name?

{{Re|TheLongTone}} Sure, that may be true - the aim would be to work towards reducing personal transport to reduce emissions, but EVs convert around 59-62% of electrical energy into kinetic energy while a combustion engine vehicle converts just 17-21% of what you put into the tank into propulsion. Couple this with renewable energy and you have the potential for zero emissions (including emissions created during production after 30,000 miles). Can you tell that I've been writing about electric cars for a decade? :) ~~~~

October 2020 edit

  Hello, I'm Eyebeller. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Andy Zaltzman, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Eyebeller (talk) 12:33, 29 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Eyebeller. I was a bit too hasty in posting - no public citations beyond Reddit at this stage. I'll wait until there's something more valid and verified and will update when that becomes available. Thanks

Disambiguation link notification for January 18 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited DuPont, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dark Waters.

Sadhbh O'Neill edit

Hello, MrPaperwings. There was a discussion that concluded yesterday a month ago, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sadhbh O'Neill, where users agreed that the page should be redirected. If you have a disagreement with that decision, you should speak to the administrator who closed it (RL0919) and failing that, go to deletion review to appeal. At this point, continually reverting it without discussion may be seen as unhelpful. Sdrqaz (talk) 16:16, 4 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

February 2022 edit

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Talk:Sadhbh O'Neill, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button   located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 16:34, 4 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Sadhbh O’Neill edit

Hi, you might not have seen it, but there was a consensus that O’Neill did not reach the notability standards to merit an article. This is linked on the article’s Talk page. For typographical reasons, you might not have noticed this when creating the page. That consensus would have to be reversed before the page can be given an article once more. As it stands, the consensus is that there should be no more than a redirect to the election, so the page will end up being reverted again to match that consensus. –Iveagh Gardens (talk) 16:57, 4 February 2022 (UTC) Iveagh Gardens (talk) 16:57, 4 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Given that the 'consensus' was reached in the past, with a number of questions left unanswered - particularly relating to the gender bias issue in redirecting the page - how would I go about requesting a reversal?
Surely articles can be reviewed as time passes, should they become more relevant, or a better version of the article be written with stronger reference links to show notability?
— Preceding unsigned comment added by MrPaperwings (talkcontribs) 17:03, 4 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Articles once deleted, can again be created if the topic has become more notable. That would certainly occur were O’Neill to be elected, but she wouldn’t satisfy WP:POLITICIAN merely by being a candidate. Do be careful in the mean time of editing that can be considered disruptive, such a recreating the same page with a slightly altered name. –Iveagh Gardens (talk) 17:36, 4 February 2022 (UTC) Iveagh Gardens (talk) 17:36, 4 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
I was thinking about this since yesterday, and comparisons might be useful to put it in context. WP:NOTABILTY can be a tough standard. In some cases, the threshold is passed by one simple achievement, serving however briefly in a national parliament, so someone satisfies WP:POLITICIAN even if they spent only a brief term as a forgettable senator. Candidates don't qualify merely for being a candidate, and councillors rarely qualify. There were some notably young Green councillors in 2019, such Tate Donnelly, but that didn't make them Wikipedia-worthy. If you look through previous elections on University of Dublin (constituency), there were candidates like Oisín Coghlan and William Priestley who were similarly involved in the environmental NGO world, who haven't got articles. There will be some suspicion if a page is being created just before an election; a few years ago there were pages created for each of the four Labour candidates in the 2019 by-elections, which were swiftly deleted. Don't be too disheartened by the seeming harshness of the policies, Wikipedia is still a great place to contribute to the store of public knowledge. There is though a hesitancy about it being used to promote anyone, so that's why there are strict tests on notability. —Iveagh Gardens (talk) 07:32, 5 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Your contributed article, Sadhbh O’Neill (politician) 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, Sadhbh O’Neill (politician). 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 – Sadhbh O’Neill. 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 Sadhbh O’Neill. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it 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 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. 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. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 17:14, 4 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
