Speedy deletion nomination of Chocolatier 2 edit

 

A tag has been placed on Chocolatier 2, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Speedy deletion nomination of PLATO Web Learning Network edit

 

A tag has been placed on PLATO Web Learning Network requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Speedy deletion edit

Hi Wpeaceout, and thanks for your work on speedy deletion tagging. However, I'm a wee bit concerned at some of that work - I've just had to decline two or your speedies: this one was short, but there was enough context to identify the subject and it's a useful stub. This one is more worrisome: it was in no way blank - it had content and, again, is a useful stub. Articles like these should be improved, not deleted. TFOWR 09:56, 11 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Wpeaceout, I have also just declined two of your tags. Eilema caniola is a sourced and scientifically categorized animal (an automatic assertion of notability) and does not qualify for A7 deletion. Beni Mallal is clearly identifiable, and does not qualify for A1 deletion. Before making any further tags, I would like to ask you to reread the criteria for speedy deletion tags at Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. I am not certain you fully understand the criteria. If you have questions, please feel free to ask. CactusWriter (talk) 20:33, 11 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Blackfriars, Beverley edit

Hi, I've declined your WP:CSD#A1 nomination of the above article because it indeed had enough context. Please ask me if you have any questions. Regards, Airplaneman 02:19, 12 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

October 2010 edit

  Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with this edit to Mind Quiz: Exercise Your Brain. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. — SpikeToronto 06:25, 15 October 2010 (UTC)Reply


  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added a {{hangon}} template to an article, Mind Quiz: Exercise Your Brain. In order for an administrator to evaluate whether the article should be speedy deleted or not, we request that you provide reasoning, on the article's talk page, for why it should remain. Thank you. — SpikeToronto 06:28, 15 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with this edit to Mind Quiz: Exercise Your Brain. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. — SpikeToronto 06:32, 15 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Edit summaries edit

 

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
 

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. — SpikeToronto 04:50, 16 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Single source? edit

What's with {{single source}} on the lunar eclipse list List of 21st century lunar eclipses. There's approximately 3 lunar eclipse catalogs in existence, each one based on the previous one, with some minor corrections, and wider date range. What do you suggest we do to validate the experts? Should we consult the astologers, see if they have any better data!? Tom Ruen (talk) 05:16, 27 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Excessive tags edit

Hi, you added some inappropriate tags to Apocalymene

  • {{stub}} - but it already has a subject-specific stub type, so you are wasting the time of people at WP:WSS (and the stub tag goes at the end, not the beginning, of an article per WP:LAYOUT)
  • {{unref}} - no it wasn't, and you also added {{refimprove}}: the two are incompatible
  • {{multiple}} - not useful, unless you nest the other problems within it
  • {{lead}} - the lead sentence is fine (it's just a pity that there isn't any other text as yet).

Please be more careful when tagging article. Thanks. PamD (talk) 17:00, 27 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for File:Ranch Rush.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading File:Ranch Rush.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 10:05, 3 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

File copyright problem with File:Ranch Rush.jpg edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:Ranch Rush.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:26, 6 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Possibly unfree File:Ranch Rush.jpg edit

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Ranch Rush.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed.

You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. --MGA73 (talk) 11:31, 7 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
