AfD nomination of Leanni Lei edit

An editor has nominated Leanni Lei, an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leanni Lei and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. NW (Talk) 20:34, 8 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

External links to References edit

Okay, please stop changing these sections. This isn't helping the articles. Most, if not all, of these links in these sections are truly external links and not references. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 17:29, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

External links are not necessarily references; please stop your section changes or you will likely be blocked, because they are not, as you assert here, simple "formatting" issues. Further, IMDb.com has been established as unreliable since it is user-updated, so an article with only IMDB as a source is still unsourced (and the IMDB citation should actually be removed to avoid misleading readers or linking to potentially inflammatory information). Finally, you removed a maintenance tag from at least one article which had merely a single sentence tagged with a single citation. That is not a fully sourced article. In that case, you may wish to change the "Unreferenced" tags to {{Additional citations}}, but removing the notice entirely is completely inappropriate. Articles are not necessarily submitted for AfD because of maintenance templates, they are submitted because they violate policy, and your removal of templates does not "save" articles, it just appears deceptive on your part and violates policy in and of itself. — TAnthonyTalk 18:20, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
You have made changes to several articles around the time of my comments, the last one appears to be David Slack (writer). Please stop these edits and open a discussion about it at Wikipedia talk:Biographies of living persons if you feel strongly about it. If you ignore my objection and continue with this, I will report the situation. Thanks.— TAnthonyTalk 18:31, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

March 2010 edit

  Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to John Harrison (filmmaker), without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. — TAnthonyTalk 18:06, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Furthermore, there is no need to add an empty References section to articles which currently have no references.— TAnthonyTalk 18:07, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

(Warning removed, my error; looked like he was removing the tag incorrectly.) Jusdafax 21:35, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Okay, let's assume some good faith here, that's not exactly vandalism. The user has some incorrect edits, but they are merely acting in good faith and has stopped once asked to do so above. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 21:04, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

BLP cleanup edit

We have a mini project to do the sort of work you were trying to do over at WP:Mistagged BLP cleanup. You are invited to help. However, I must caution you, you need to slow down and consider your changes more carefully. It's better to do one article all the way then to make mass changes. We have enough time to consider each unsourced BLP... no one will even think about mass deletion for at least a few months. Gigs (talk) 21:45, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Roberta Tubbs edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we must insist that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roberta Tubbs. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Neelix (talk) 20:40, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Nomination of Stu Klitenic for deletion edit

A discussion is taking place as to whether if Stu Klitenic should be deleted or not. The conversation will be held at the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stu Klitenic until a consensus is held and everyone is welcome to join the conversation. However, do not remove the AfD message on the top of the page. Ashbeckjonathan 02:48, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
