why would I enjoy making contributions edits that are all censored & removed ???????????????

I tried to cite refferance but camnnot get syntax right why would you not correct reference syntax rather than PADANTICALY eraseing & censoring everything??????207.200.141.204 (talk) 03:25, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

— Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.200.141.204 (talk) 03:20, 5 February 2013 (UTC) 

Hi. I would have simply corrected the syntax, but your sourcing was very problematic. If you read my note above, it gives some instructions on how to cite and what to cite to. I'm sorry, but these are the rules on which Wikipedia was built. If you want to try again with reliable sources, I can help you. The Interior (Talk) 03:26, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

so the wikipedia sites for both grizzly & black bears are wrong????

• Ursus arctos horribilis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grizzly_bear}}</ref>

Ursus americanus Bear population stats Published urL I would prefer Prov Min stats but goverment doesn't want their biologists publishing! Help would be nice but refering to the links to the damn folow charts from hell is not helpful I can read the so call help buttons but they are like back assembly instructions withscrews missing. With all due, real Help would be to fix 1 single reference showing how to refferrance a url & not cutting & pasting form letters like a bot.

I have much the same sentiment about the complex templates and code work, i.e. that those that think like machines behave just like them, including wanting us to do the legwork to conform to the formats they come up which is what these codes and templates are about; at the expense of content and of alienating poeple such as yourself who don't like having to "copy paste like robots". It's on big reason I don't like citeweb and various other templates; they overcomplicate Wikipedia; but such people dominate the place now, can't be helped; easiest thing to do is leave the templates mostly blank and let the fussy types come around and fix 'em up themselves....since they like doing that. And about citing the bears and other zoology stuff, don't forget the universities and NGOs publish papers, and even if the provgov or the scientist-muzzling/watching feds don't publish things, they have no control over other publications and publishers (though they would like to....)Skookum1 (talk) 14:28, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Single referrances also may be wrong!There is no Slopside district in Whistler never ever has been. So even if the NY times apparently refers to a Slopside distric it doesn't exist!!!!!!! There is a Slopeside dinner though the district is Creekside & was the original town site called Alpha Lake. I'd like I'do give you a dozen refferrences but no one will show me how.207.200.141.204 (talk) 03:49, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, maybe I shouldn't use the template message. Skookum's left you the relevant links is his post. Sorry I've got you upset, it's not that anyone doesn't want you editing. The bear stuff would be good to have. Here's a good way to put in a ref - WP:CITET. Re reffing the wiki, it's an acknowledgment that the wiki is really not a reliable source, because it's a wiki. People put all sorts of nonsense in here. The Interior (Talk) 07:26, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

The Interior knows I don't use the citeweb templates myself, I find them awkward to use but apparently people do get the hang of it; what happens when I use the old style template is that some other template-happy editor comes along and fixes them. The old style simple ones are, using my own personal site as it's easy for my to type: <ref>[http://www.cayoosh.net Bridge River-Lillooet Country Archive]</ref> without the "nowiki" tag around it, it looks like this Bridge River-Lillooet Country Archive, when it appers in the footnotes automatically so long as you've used {{reflist}} but the template people have upgraded that for things like date of accession, publisher etc. not just title. How you get those to display without being active is by <nowiki> [wiki code you want to maek visible, as in there on a talk page] </nowiki>....hmm that's not gonna work right but suffice to say "nowiki" in arrow brackets will stop wikicode from fucntion, slash-nowiki in arrow brackets will start it again.

Your additions may have been deleted for various reasons; unencyclopedic language, POV (biased/opinion content), and "original research" which includes your own experience; I get shot at for that a lot myself because I know things that aren't in print, or as with this Southside/Creekside issue (we also called it "Gondola" when that was the only gondola in town). And for the record, originally there was no Alpha Lake Village, it's fairly new relative to e.g. Tamarisk and Function Junction (whatever that's called now). I lived in the Jordan Lodge, which was between the Whistler Resort & Club (if it's still called that) and the tracks; the Nita Lake Lodge is there now......the station, before it was named Whistler, was called "Jordan Lodge", though there was another cabin closer to the station, "The Trap"; I hitched around town a lot, going south from the Village and a driver would ask you where you were going, you'd be pretty specific, e.g. Creekside (by the Creekside Hotel), "the Husky", "Tamarisk", Club Cabins (now Nordic Estates) or Rimrock/Whiskey Jack etc. If you were just going generally to the area, you'd say either "Southside" or more typically "Gondola"......this is all original research, more or less; only citable if you went to back copies of the Question or one of the Squamish papers that served the Corridor, or Charlie Doyle's old Whistler Answer. Anyway bro, around here I"m known a bit too much for my temper and feisty language; it helps to remain calm and ask why someone deleted something, rather than get upset about it. This is a collaborative effort, and has a particular culture. Anyone on the WP:CANTALK will be glad to help with questions or problems, or refer you to the appropriate discussion/question forum for same. I don't like those templates myself, which is why I rarely use them. For the record there was never a town of Alpha Lake, it was entirely a condo development and though pretty old by Whistler standards now, was new turf in my time; other stations up the line from the Jordan Lodge/Whistler one were Tokum Corners (south end of Alta Lake, where the pipe across to the south end of Alta Vista is), Alta Lake, Rainbow Lodge, Mons, and Parkhurts (the 'ghost town' opposite Emerald Estates).Skookum1 (talk) 14:22, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

re [Alpha Lake Estates] Agreed but there was an train station at Alpha Lake , & unincorporated "town" designation for mail.... Earlier there was a mill (actually several mills sites but only 1 at a time) At green lake & in between Green lake & lost lake about 70 yrs ago. got to go now more later207.200.141.204 (talk) 21:22, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, but how long have you been in Whistler/Alta Lake? I think you're meaning the Alta Lake station/PO and/or Alta Vista (though the whole area was served by Alta Lake PO, if there had been a PO at Alpha Lake it would show on the BC Names entry and there'd be not a lake entry there but at least a former PO/settlement one as well. Alpha Lake Estates dates from after the '60s for sure....there would have been no reason for one there because no one lived there until aforesaid landlord developed it, I think starting in the mid-70s.Skookum1 (talk) 14:07, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm pondering that the Jordan Lodge station may have been called Alpha Lake for a while after the condo/townhouse development began; I vaguely remember there being (maybe) a Tamarisk "station" (any road crossing of the PGE line was a "station" though without a building, just a metal flag you could put up to get the train to stop....the Jordan Lodge (Nita Lake) station is right by the Alpha Lake developments but to my own knowledge it was never named that. And I've been riding that rail line since the '50s (I'm from up Seton/Lilloet)Skookum1 (talk) 14:18, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Southside/Creekside

I lived in Whistler '81-'87 and Southside was Southside, "Creekside" referred only to the Creekside Hotel and Restaurant. The Southside Deli got its name from that usage. I have extensive historical knowledge of Whistler and am a former long-time resident; maybe you are younger than I am. I don't mean to WP:BITE a newcomer but please read WP:V, WP:R and especially WP:OR. User:The Interior has already reversed some of you anecdotal input, it's the way it is around here. citations/refs I'll be back later to tell you about how to do them right; it's gotten complicated, an no longer "wiki" (fast).

Speedy deletion nomination of Pemberton Regional Airport

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 Pemberton Regional Airport, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

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.  GILO   A&E⇑ 23:27, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Concerns

Thank you for carefully writing a real response & not using alienating form letters. First there is a bit of a concern over your username. It tends to give the impression that you are here just to promote Pemberton and may be associated with the village council in some capacity. I'm a Pemberton Resident & did not want to hide such a fact, but have absolutely nothing to do with local government . Because of that it also gives rise to the possibility that there are multiple people editing from the account.I'm 1 So would you consider changing your name to something that can't be misconstrued. No, I want it known I 'm a local with local knowledge. I'm only using 1 of 3 syllables of the village name, for god's sake. You could of course still have reference to the village as I do with my username. Please take a look at Wikipedia:Changing username.

The second concern has to do with the Pemberton Regional Airport. If you find an article that is at, what you believe, the wrong name then the correct way to deal with is is not to create a new article, redirect the old and if possible update the new. If the new name is obvious and uncontroversial then just move the old article to the new name, see Wikipedia:Moving a page. If there is a possibility that the new name is controversial then ask about moving it using the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves.

The Pemberton Regional Airport that you created was tagged for deletion for two reasons. First as being promotional, I'm very confused by your non-standard use of the word promotional. I have never heard it as a synonym for plagiarism, which it is not if one offers attribution. I would respectfully & strongly suggest when you use words with such non-standard intended meanings that you follow with a definition in standard English which it was as it was copied from the airports official site. The second problem was that being copied from the official site is that it violates their copyright, is Wikipedia:Copyrights and Wikipedia:Copyright violations. Being that Cambridge Bay is in Canada I'm assuming I'm speaking as 1 Canadian to another Canadian about a page describing a Canadian Village's public Info & under Canadian Law's Fair Use, i.e. for educational purposes, not US . A Now you can update and expand the Pemberton Regional Airport using the official site as a source but it must be in your own words. I rewrote every single word!! One other note if you do expand the article leave out things like phone numbers, airport fees and any other ways of contacting people at the airport. Have a look around at other airports in BC and you will see that they don't include that info. This is 1 of the only un-manned airports with a 3500 ft of Runway!!! but i'll remove all contact info & fees. That sort of stuff, which is more of a travel guide, would be better included in Wikitravel. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 08:23, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

The Wikipedia servers are located in the United States and all the content on the site has to follow US laws. The amount of fair use material is restricted by the Resolution:Licensing policy. Basically the idea is to have a free encyclopedia that anybody can reuse in any way they want. This pretty much means that other than short quotes fair use material should not be used. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights for more information. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 22:35, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Whistler /* Transportation */ attn PemGateway (talk) 00:34, 15 February 2014 (UTC)BgWhitePemGateway (talk) 00:34, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

/* Transportation */ I'm sorry but the reality is Whistler is served by 3 local "airports". The world is not as we want it to be. So lets remake WIKIPEDIA to our fantasy. Then your going to need a new header this is "Big White's Fantasy Whistler". Check Google Earth satellite images. "Aerodrome`` is a real weird word but that's the Official Name the Federal Gov gave them in the 1950's, a decade before I was born so don't blame me pls... Don't falsely label Spam for adding addresses; one cannot the find location without an address or lat & long. Previous persons &/or bots removed lat & long, & links too!

Use Talk with editing, & thanks for stopping deleting things arbitrarily without any explanation (I consider that rude, I noticed how you (BgWhite) go on & on about politeness on your page).PemGateway (talk) 00:34, 15 February 2014 (UTC) Erasing the common name Pemberton Airport because there was another Pemberton Airport makes your page simpler maybe but not clearer, not more accurate, & does not inform the public searching under the most commonly used name!!!

I'm obviously not grasping something here, as I assumed Wikipedia was for informing & aiding the public with accurate, useful, searchable information... As opposed to 3 airports being confusing so we will all pretend there's only 1 Airport, that's so much less confusing & neat - not to mention increasing Wikipedia's rep for errors & unreliable info.If this policy has no name I propose You call it Autistic Ostriches!

Keep erasing everything I'll eventually give up & leave it to the Autistic Ostriches they can all stick their heads in the sand without me, the pages will be poorer for lack of local Knowledge. PemGateway (talk) 00:34, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Please study WP:MOS before more additions to the Whistler article

You've over-capitalized words that don't need capitalizing, used strings of ellipses to add radio station nicknames, and more that flies in the face of the standards expected; you are not a rank newbie anymore, and should know better by now. There's some complete bunk in the climate section - Sonoran Desert? Give your head a shake, the Sonoran Desert doesn't come north of the Colorado River, doesn't matter what some wrong source says about that. Read some other town articles e.g. Dawson Creek which has good article status, to see how things should be written and formatted. Other editors shouldn't have to clean up after you; I'm gonna fix a few things including taking out that completely silly Sonoran Desert crap, but I don't have time to pick up after you. Read WP:MOS if you want to keep on contributing to Wikipedia - or rather, if you want to contribute in a useful manner and in such a way that others don't have to clean up messes you've made.Skookum1 (talk) 04:01, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Hey Skookum1 I just found out your Hard on for the whole Sonoran issue on the Osoyoos page!!!I thought You are grossly ill informed about the Okanagan, but your just irrational. and intellectually dishonest, fraud. see following proof

Quote from Osoyoos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Osoyoos,_British_Columbia

Quote" Dear anon IP, it is you that requires reliable sources. I'm not a "self apponted expert", but I am a WP editor that clearly sticks to WP:NPOV, something I think you need to brush up on. Again, these local tourism sites have very little credibility. These are scientific and academic journals: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], etc., etc. " UnQuote [1] [2] are 1 paragraph long don't refer to Osoyoos. [3} is a world map of climates with resolution of several 100 miles across how will a valley system 1 mile across show up on a map with several 100 mile resolution!?!?!?! [4]} won't load [5] is a park publication not a scientific paper! & Refers to the Sonoran Desert physical location not the Eco system..... to top it all off you quote a reporter not a scientist .

YOUR BEING A FRAUD & A BULLY> BEING LOUDEST DOESN'T"T MAKE YOU RIGHT!!!!

It was a desert not grasslands. Akli desert in some sections, I'm 4 th generation from pioneers.

Part of My grand parents acreage in Osoyoos was so aline nothing grew not even grass . Even with watering. My grandfather spent 5 years dragging a stone bolt around mixing the aline silt from one 1/2 of the farm with the sand & gravel from the other 10 -20 wagons a year of manure for 10 years were brought down from Kelowna, not to mention all the manure from the farm animals fed imported grain & alpha cut at the lake & by springs. Hay, straw, saw dust, wood ash, & compost were all introduced to create soil out of nothing!

From 1979 on the weather station data in Osoyoos is fudged. The weather station was between the Heath Centre & Fire hall was sprinkled so the rain gauge is filled with water from the sprinklers & is being cooled by sprinklers that come on on the hour in the Summer old data from same station Put Osoyoos as hottest place in Canada for most Summers all summer. Not anymore. & now that station is gone!!! the secondary station is sitting in an irrigated park. To measure desert conditions the guage should be on the reserve in the Dunes! Apparently others have referred to problems with the data, but you ignore that.

Climate: Flora

Every tree Had an official reference, UBC etc. & you removed them how does that inform the public?????????????????????????????????

I know your p*ssed off over Sonaran Desert Eco system, but how does that justify the rest.

===strings of ellipses=== I do not understand

=radio station nickname

"I should know better by now". than posting radio un-offical call signs???? As though I posted Pornography!!! I know that the stations are required by law to give their official call signs but I think I've Heard Mountain Fm give its official call sign about 3 times in 12 years its always Mountain FM, always Mountain FM. I think again that Wikipedia needs to reflect the real word as opposed to how so editors wish it to be.

Sonoran Desert

I'm sorry, but the Sonoran Desert as an eco system, not a specific geographic spot extends from Antarctic Dry Valleys (Patagonian dry grasses are sprouting with latest warming) to the high Arctic in little islands & larger sections. Through the whole trans-patagoina region up through Boliva & Peru at the isthmus of Panama there are a few tiny dry hill tops, then we hit Herredia in Northern Costa Rica which is Wet dry Forest 8 -9 months of the year dry Savanna with clumps of trees, from Just South of Armstrong BC through the whole Okanagan Valley - the Okanagan is now green because of Irrigation Before homesteading it was desert !!!!My grand parents & great grand parents were Pioneers I still was able to see cactus. (Canada through Okanagan Wa USA ,on to the Dunes in the Columbia Gorge , Restarting in the high Oregon Plateau at Bend. In Whistler were talking micro micro-climate, little islands the boulders at Rim Rock & Vale & across Hwy 99 at the Watson way had Ponderossa /Long Needle Pine on them & Skinks the largest lizard nearest either pole, & oral tradition says there were rattle snakes & soft leaved 'rabbit ear' sagebrush.

I've seen, in person not just from books , the marker Sonoran Desert species Sage brush in: Lillooet, Pemberton, Osoyoos , Yakima Wa, Columbia River Gorge, Snake River Gorge, Jalisco Mexico at the Winchester ranch, Herredia Costa Rica, on top of 2 Volcanoes in central Costa Rica, interspersed through the Altiplano of Ecuador, Peru -across from Machiu Pichu I looked down into the Amazon Basin' its not all verdant green there are arid narrow strips reaching down too, Bolivia, & Chile. On new volcanic rock & dunes on the coast of Uruguay. Fingers & islands of small arid sections leading from mostly wet Missiones Province of Argentina into the Parrana Ecosystem in Uruguay, Brazil & Paraguay. I also traveled on horse, on one of the longest cattle drives in the world across San Luis, to Patagonia province in Argentina & saw interspersed across the parrie in dry sections sage brush! I saw it with my own eyes all the way down to the tip of South America at Rio Gallagos & in a few dry sections across Tierra del Fuego!

Sonoran Desert as an eco system Pumas, fox, hares, lizards & rattlers, kangaroo mice dry grasses, sage brush, Milk weed & Monarch Butterflys

Note one of the Sonoran Reference links below is from UBC!

http://www.britishcolumbia.com/regions/towns/?townID=3440 http://www.britishcolumbia.com/regions/towns/?townID=3441 http://www.sunnyosoyoos.com/about.htm https://people.ok.ubc.ca/zhrdlick/ties08/kelowna.htm

PS If the BBC Nature defines a 40 x 40 ft micro eco systems on a hill top in the isthmus Panama, but a city block section in Whistler is not big enough to be a micro-climate!

I don't feel welcome

Your editors need to self police each other like Skookum1 here erased a days work. I listed trees in Whistlers 3 major climatic zones all with refs he eased all. I made the mistake of mentioning a few rock faces in whistler had pondersa pine & were micro-climates of Sonaron type with out realizing it was a pet peeve of his. He erased a days worth of citations when he says he earases because of lack of citations!

This newbie has been bit too many times, & is really confused because I'm told that nothing with out reference may be written... then its erased because there's too many Citations. As to the allegations of "BIAS": that was backed up by quotes from the party in question. His Citations were not junk science but neither were they pertinent, because they were junk quotes ref in that he cited maps with several hundred miles resolution. How in the hell are they pertinent to the Okanagan Valley System when it is sometimes a as narrow as a mile across??? So this is not rational read "Osoyoos talk" there you'll see his tirades against others for no citations and he gives citations that break upon inspection. Read "Osoyoos Talk" Please.

stop screwing with the Meager articles

I have reverted you twice now.... you are in the wrong, there is no need for a separate article on the springs and no need at all to delete material from the creek page; the creek is notable and has an article because of the springs. What you are doing is called a POV fork and is not supported by others working/watchlisting the creek and mountain articles. A further deletion by you may be WP:3RR, you may be there already because you reverted VolcanoGuy on the same passage; I will be at 3RR if I revert again but will take this up at higher levels if you persist in this activity.Skookum1 (talk) 07:09, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Meager Creek Hot Springs

Hi, if you need help formatting References, may I suggest User:ProveIt GT. You can enable/disable it at your Preferences under "Gadgets". It makes adding refs so much easier. Let me know if you need help using it.– Gilliam (talk) 07:11, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Preview of edit summary: (PemGateway (talk) 07:24, 24 November 2014 (UTC)skokum is very strange: a yr ago he removed all the hot springs info from Pemberton & Whistler now he wants to post it!!! write your own copy. I've remove the text & references I wrote. I'll just post on Wikitravel, WikiVoyage, Google & OpenStreet maps

Go there then. The material you added to the Whistler and Pemberton titles were amateurish garble, I remember some anti-native POV also, and were full of peacock terms and other no-no's; they were reverted/deleted for good reason. "Go write your own copy" somewhere else; and you don't own what you've already contributed to Wikipedia, so your deletions are meaningless (such as they are); you attempted at POV fork without any discussion with other authors of hte page and have edit-warred over it. Good riddance.Skookum1 (talk) 07:34, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Its very interesting , IRONIC & INCONSISTENT that last year Skookum WIPED every single word about ALL 4 area hot springs & now he/it/them keeps reposting the text I wrote, I Wiped/removed the text I wrote write your own original copy.

I'm "going away" but I will not put up with Skookum latest shocking LIES & DEFAMATION implying that I'm some racist with" harsh anti-nativ POV" It's He/it/them that redacted that the Local Squamish & Lillooet/Li'wat tribes had winter hunting camps in Whistler & further that some native/ 1st nations loggers lived several years in Whistler!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Proposed deletion of Six (TV series 2)

The article Six (TV series 2) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:TOOSOON

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your contributed article, Six 2 North Productions Inc.

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, Six 2 North Productions Inc.. 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 – Six (TV series). 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 Six (TV series). If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page. Everthing added to Six (TV series) was removed despite 20 referrences!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ERASE IT!It's Not worth fighting with silly Pedanticists

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 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, 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. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 08:30, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

     this is a huge waste of time.

July 2017

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ^{My name is}not^dave (talk/contribs) 21:42, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Stop stop stop. Take the issue to the article's talk page. ^{My name is}not^dave (talk/contribs) 21:42, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at Six (TV series). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:48, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
