Your edits to Peru[edit]

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. --Victor12 16:55, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

February 2008[edit]

Hi, the recent edit you made to Gordon B. Hinckley has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks.

Verifiability[edit]

Hi, I reverted the edit you made here because we don't generally write in Wikipedia about things that are "often considered" or that "some people feel". With a show as well-known as this, there are all kinds of proper sources. If a critic said these things, we can use that. If "some people" said it, it's less usable. For a general overview of this concept, see Wikipedia:Verifiability. Friday (talk) 20:05, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:Gabriellezevin.jpg[edit]

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Gabriellezevin.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 23:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 23:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Searchme[edit]

A tag has been placed on Searchme 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Oore (talk) 00:30, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Johannes Schultz[edit]

A tag has been placed on Johannes Schultz requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

June 2008[edit]

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did to Cher, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Gwernol 01:37, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of (Untitled) (film)[edit]

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

The article (Untitled) (film) has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Please also note that articles must be on notable subjects and should cite to reliable sources which verify their content. Please only repost the article in a form that meets these standards. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. — Tivedshambo (t/c) 19:44, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs[edit]

Hello Davidm617617! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 941 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Mall'd Vydinac - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Katherine Sarafian - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 04:15, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Mall'd Vydinac[edit]

The article Mall'd Vydinac has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

PROD after Speedy declined. Completely unable to source this article after extensive searches. Either a hoax ("Neshoerwie" is an anagram of "is nowhere") or a complete nobody. Google search (which only returns about 3 results) gives wiki mirrors only if you follow the links through.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

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

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.
