User talk:Titus Justus
A tag has been placed on Norchase requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of 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. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their 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 (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. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 17:43, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- In the future, you shouldn't remove speedies but instead place a hangon tag. Though since the speedy was for lack of context, and you added context, no harm was done. Just want to give you the heads up anyway. -WarthogDemon 17:55, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Norchase[edit]
An article that you have been involved in editing, Norchase, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Norchase. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?

Dear Titus Justus: I see that you added the {{hangon}} template to Norchase, and that you readded it after another editor removed it. I just wanted to let you know that the page is being considered for deletion under the deletion discussion process, and a speedy deletion has not been requested this time around. (I see there was a speedy deletion request back in March, and the article was kept after you used the {{hangon}} tag.) The {{hangon}} tag only applies to speedy deletions, and not to deletion discussions. It's being removed from the article now because it has no meaning for the process for considering deletions by discussion, called an AfD, which is short for Articles for Deletion. Speedy deletion, like was requested back in March, is for articles that an editor believes clearly don't belong on wikipedia because they break a fundamental rule, called a Criteria for Speedy Deletion or CSD. Because a speedy deletion is done quickly, and only under speciific rules, the {{hangon}} tag exists to let an admin know the article creator doesn't think it fits any of the CSD rules. The AfD process is a process where an article is discussed for five days and the community tries to reach consensus on whether to keep or delete it. The article is only deleted if the consensus is to delete it. {{hangon}} doesn't mean anything because the AfD process is a discussion lasting several days, rather than a unilateral and quick administrator action. Please read the Guide to Deletion or the deletion policies page for more informaton, and please, defend the article in the AfD discussion by following the link in the deletion notice, or by going here: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Norchase. I hope that helps clarify what's going on, why the {{hangon}} tag keeps getting removed, and why adding it doesn't have any effect on the AfD process. Please feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Thanks. AubreyEllenShomo (talk) 06:37, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite[edit]
Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
