User talk:Alicb

Hello, Alicb. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.PoetryFan (talk) 17:52, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. PoetryFan (talk) 17:52, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your edit to a disambiguation page. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should:

• Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
• Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
• Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
  • Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
• Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
• Do not insert external links or references

Thank you. 128.177.40.53 (talk) 17:51, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

An article you created does not meet the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia, and I have tagged it for deletion. Before you create new articles, try the Article Wizard. The wizard will guide you through the process and help you make sure your article is appropriate. Thank you. 128.177.40.53 (talk) 17:51, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Interlude65. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Garfield without explaining why.

to be honest I don't really understand why I was blocked. I last edited last week and when I logged in on Friday my talk page was covered in warnings and threats from administrators accusing me of vandalizing articles that I have worked extensively to create and accusing me of being a sockpuppet via CheckUser. I wish to request that a neutral administrator review my record and reperform the Checkuser. I am in no way a sockpuppet of any user and I don't see how anyone could see me as such since I do not share my computer. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration in reviewing my request.

You're not actually blocked (so I've disabled the unblock request). The messages and the sock accusation were just vandalism from an IP editor, done here. I've removed the bogus messages. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:35, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

WP:ANI

Hi @Alicb

Thank you for your feedback and patience. I would like to request politely that the next time you have a problem with me and my edits that you take up with me on my talk page or on a relevant article talk page first rather than going straight to WP:ANI. In my opinion, your actions were needlessly aggressive and confrontational and not in the spirit of WP:AGF and I think that we can achieve more constructive cooperation if we communicate first and escalate to administrative action only if such efforts prove unfruitful. I promise in return not to interfere with articles that you have worked on and to seek more constructive dialogue with you and other users in the future. I am fully aware that some of my language has been harsh and I would like to go further by apologizing for any hurt feelings or disrespect that you may have perceived in my actions. Thank you so much for your patience and I appreciate your attention to this message. PoetryFan (talk) 23:35, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Krisanne Hall

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 Krisanne Hall 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 a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "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. —Locke Cole • t • c 09:15, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Bennye Gatteys is up for deletion

Hey I just noticed you're the creator of Bennye Gatteys and its up for deletion, but nobody notified you. Of course it's a dubious claim of no notability as usual, based only on the fact that some dude noticed there's only one footnote. I'm currently adding a whole raft of new references to it - she's obviously not the most famous person in the world but is clearly notable. I've found 4 or 5 profiles of her just in newspapers.com. Anyway I'll be done adding my refs to the article in a couple minutes, feel free to poke at them there may be other facts that can be pulled in or copyediting that remains. Cheers. --Krelnik (talk) 14:27, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

User:Krelnik -- Thank you for your message! I will go ahead and comment there ASAP, and I will also take a look at the article later today. I apologize for being remiss in adding more sources myself; it's been a while since I was editing extensively and this slipped completely off my radar haha Alicb (talk) 17:26, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

It's sort of academic now since the AFD was closed by a non-admin, but how is this message not a clear violation of WP:CANVASS?
