Proposed deletion of Olga Gorodetskaya

edit
 

The article Olga Gorodetskaya has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the 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 seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. 333-blue 06:49, 11 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Spirits Of Heaven and Ways of Heaven & Earth: Shamanistic Beliefs and Origins of Chinese Traditional Thoughts

edit

Hello PanKaycke,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Spirits Of Heaven and Ways of Heaven & Earth: Shamanistic Beliefs and Origins of Chinese Traditional Thoughts for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Cotton2 (talk) 05:57, 23 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited House of Lunin, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Polish and Russian. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article 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) 10:43, 24 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~. I still find it difficult to see why you removed your bot-signed signature without replacing it with a proper one, but although that's odd it's not a big deal. What I said was that I can restore the deleted text to a subpage for you, you don't have to write from scratch. However

  • you must provide independent verifiable sources. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the publisher or author, press releases social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the publisher claims or interviewing the author.
  • you gave a reference, but it appears to be a personal opinion or review rather than factual material from a reliable source as linked above
  • Even if the article is considered non-promotional, books must meet the notability criteria, and will be nominated for a deletion discussion if they don't
  • I considered the article was written in a promotional tone because it simply said what it was about with no facts at all to show why it was significant. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
  • Your edits indicate that you have a conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject.
  • If you are the author or work directly or indirectly for the publisher, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the publisher or author you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:PanKaycke. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=PanKaycke|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message. Once you have done so, I'll post the deleted text to a user subpage Jimfbleak (talk) 06:02, 26 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm 2A03:F80:32:194:71:227:81:1. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Antoine, Duke of Montpensier have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. 2A03:F80:32:194:71:227:81:1 (talk) 04:05, 4 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi there! Just wanted to test the response time to vandalism on a rather obscure page. Cheers! PanKaycke (talk) 04:15, 4 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
I can certainly understand the motivation. But you really shouldn't make unconstructive edits in mainspace even as a test. Not really a big deal in this case though. It's unlikely to yield useful data anyway, vandalism response time varies a lot depending on the article, the time of day, the current filter configuration, the type of vandalism performed etc. Most vandalism is reverted in minutes but some takes hours. Especially in unwatched articles it's not unheard of for vandalism to last days or weeks. In terms of records, we are now finding 15 year old pieces of obvious vandalism, some of which have been widely reproduced across the internet. You can go to meta and ask the WMF community liasons if your really interested in all the statistics that have been collected over the years.
