Help request

Hi, // I noticed that you asked a question here in the helpme template; in future, please ask your questions here on your own talk page.

I have come across articles where there are sections with titles but no table of contents: John Pickstone has these but I cannot see why. Also another article List of Cornish saints has some different problem perhaps.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 11:09, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Articles only display a table of contents if they have more than 3 sections - John Pickstone and List of Cornish saints only have 3 sections. Also, it is possible to force the table to not display, by putting _NOTOC_ in the page. See WP:TOC. I hope this answers your question; if you need more help please place a {{helpme}} here on your own talk page, or come and talk to us live. --  Chzz  ►  14:25, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

"Tattoo image placement"

I reverted your recent change to Tattoo. To my mind, the image of a mummified tattoo makes much more sense within the article flow next to the history section of the article. That introduces a discussion of "ancient" tattooing, and the Scythian examples seems to illustrate that. I don't feel passionately about the placement, but please discuss on Talk:Tattoo why you think the rearrangement would be an improvement to see if there is any agreement from other editors).

Signing up to another Wikipedia

I may want to join the Wikipedia in another language (Kernewek) and am unsure whether to do this under the identical user name / password or different ones (my knowledge of that language is quite limited but the contributors will all understand English.

Editing incident

Hi, your Felix Folio Secundus account has not been blocked - it may have been a technical problem so do try again, would hate to lose you! I'll copy this to your talk pages. DuncanHill (talk) 14:25, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Shaw's Nobel prize

I removed this and then got interrupted: not sure where in article but /Trivia/ sections need sorting out as a serious encyclopedia needs to be the opposite of trivial. --Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 12:17, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Trivia sections often only mean that the content has been added haphazardly; it doesn't mean all the information is worthless; they can usually be integrated properly. And Wikipedia is simply an encyclopedia, not a "serious encyclopedia". :-) [As for being the opposite of trivial... let's say you lost that battle years ago.)

Talk pages

Hi, please never ever edit other people's contributions on talk pages, as you did here. Other than in articles, what people write on talk pages is their own opinion, written in exactly the way they wanted it written. It is not up to you (or me, or anyone else) to decide that they really wanted to write something different than they did. This and other rules of conduct are spelled out in more details in the Wikipedia Talk page guidelines. Thanks for your understanding. --Latebird (talk) 22:19, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Commercial interest

{{helpme}} List of hospitals in South Africa has "Infection Control within the hospitals and community Company Profile Of Vernacare, etc." which should not be allowed I think just as WWW links to suppliers would not be.

None of those articles should have external links; links to external sites should only be used either a) as footnote references, or b) in an "External links" section, subject to the policy WP:EL. Feel free to be bold and fix such things; see also WP:BRD.  Chzz  ►  03:34, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your categorisation there, I had trouble to place it. I did my best, but thanks for improving it.

Best wishes Si Trew (talk) 15:54, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

I reverted your change to the note, because I think you put it clumsily. No prob with what you are trying to say, but can we agree how to say it? Si Trew (talk) 22:00, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

=== Vofely ===

Sorry my bad there as I use Hungarian keyboard and totally cocked it up, doing English. So my bad there.

What I was trying to say is that in Hungary one gets married and has to conduct the ceremony in civil law before or after the ceremony, compared to e.g. Chruch of england when th service is enacted in law and one does not need another service. How best to put this? I am not sure about the Church in Wales or the Church of Scotland (the Kirk), and I imagine in the US it varies from state to state.

I checked this article over with my Hungarian mssus and she reckons it is better than the Hungarian one. The original contributor is a professional and added it for himself. I removed that attribution, cos it smacks of WP:PROMO. He aded it back actually after I edited it, he placed is name again after the little poem, which Iput into English ryhme and not very well. So if it is anybody's it is mine, not his. But we don't do that on wikipedia,it is everybody's.

Si Trew (talk) 12:05, 28 November 2009 (UTC) PS You know why they write "fuck the pope" on toilet walls? Cos the cannot be bothered to write "fuck the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland"

Folk rock

I've added it to my watchlist and will try to devote some time to improving it - but the first change I've made was to revert one of your earlier changes (which we can discuss if necessary). Basically, the US and UK parts of the article need a lot of beefing up, in my view. Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:45, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I do have the Oxford Companion book, and also have a couple of Richie Unterberger's books which cover this area well - as well as many others with a wider scope. Given my time commitments I expect I'll be approaching this incrementally with a series of edits over time, rather than as a single one-off project. Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:50, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Packaging and Labeling

You had added Packaging and labeling to the business project. That is fine: packaging has some relationship to business, and several other major topics too. My question is why you judged this article to be of only a Start class and of Low importance. Please justify these low rating on what I consider to be a relatively good article. Rlsheehan (talk) 16:46, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply. Your rating of Start implies that this article has just started and needs (in your opinion) much work to improve. Please explain. I am not aware of your checklist and your list of specific shortcomings of the article. Please be specific about the areas that you believe need work - - - better yet, please provide constructive edits for others to consider. Rlsheehan (talk) 21:54, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

(1) Hello, I have had another look at it and think I would rate it at C. Most of my work is with history, language, etc. Possibly it could be given a B rating once it had been checked off against the B class checklist.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 18:58, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

(2) I think you have a diferent idea about how assessment can be done: articles in different projects do not have to be assessed in a particular way, e.g. WP:Military History has stricter procedures than most projects. This is some information about making sure that B class is the right rating Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/B-class FAQ but as a non-member of WP:Business I am not familiar with the way things are done there. You can just assess it again at a higher level of class and/or importance.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 08:47, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Evgeny Kovtun

Hello Felix, I hope that you Eastern was well. (-: I have seen that you have edited: Evgeny Kovtun On the German Wikipedia this article was erased five times, because a user placed the article again an again.

Hello, Thank you for your message. Easter seems a long time ago and in England we are not having much good spring weather (much colder than usual). Evgeny Kovtun does not look like someone who really needs to have an article but there must be others who want to have him included. It is interesting to do a little with various types of articles; I have not done much writing of new articles, that is more difficult than improving existing ones.

Shipwrecks

Thanks for expanding various lists of shipwrecks. Could you please use flags to identify the registry of the various vessels in accordance with other entries. Mjroots (talk) 10:52, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Scillonian

Commons cats can be something of a mystery. If there's a picture of a different ship in the Scillonian III article, it should be removed. It may be benificial to edit the file on Commons to correct the info presented there, and recat as necessary. Mjroots (talk) 18:05, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Shipwrecks lists

Re the flags, {{Navy}}. {{Flag}} and {{Flagcountry}} come in useful here. The latter is needed for UK registered ships before 1922 - {{flagcountry|UKGBI|civil}} produces United Kingdom, which is not the same as United Kingdom (click on each link to see why). Mjroots (talk) 18:13, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Re the flags, it takes time to learn them. Only today did I learn that the correct flag for Japanese merchant vessels between 1945 and 1952 is Japan and not Japan! Mjroots (talk) 19:16, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Luther Films and so on

Today, the sun seems to be away, one time again. Sometimes rain. Juhu! It's my birthday. (-: Presents: 95 Thesen (Faksimile) (95 theses facsimile), de:Königs Erläuterungen (Königs Explanations for Literature)) ... Some Lutherfilm articles are existing today in the English Wikipedia: Luther (1928 film), Luther (1973 film), Luther (2003 film), Martin Luther (1953 film), Martin Luther, Heretic (1983 film) and the Category:Films about Martin Luther. I used some articles of them for creating the German article. So I suppose that it will be not a stub-project. Ok, I don't know how big should be the content section to the German films, not existing an English film version, but I suppose the thing/this project would be a nice idea. The first step should be the translation of the German article: de:Lutherfilm under the entry: Lutherfilm or Luther in Films??? and so on. To Evgeny Kovtun, yes I know the time, this is a good reason, so I am not motivated, too. Possibly later ... Yes, the German-England-football-teams-meeting. --- This World Cup season, I took no time in it, but possibly today. (-: I will see. By the way, a little bit crazy, the USA is in the next round.

Expand Magyar

Dear Felix, I noticed with [this edit] you had the edit summary "Expand Magyar". Which is odd, because the template you put on there said {{Expand Hungarian}}.

My own view as an Englishman is that Hungarian is the language and Magyar is the race. That seems to be shared by my Hungarian missus. Though we are well aware others have different views.

But either put an {{Expand Magyar}} tag on the article or put in the ES "Expand Hungarian". There's no need to prevaricate about the bush.

Best wishes Si Trew (talk) 23:39, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Thank you for your comments on the old editing. Expand Hungarian would have been better as an edit summary, but I am not so careful about those as when working on the content of the articles. I am glad to see some useful content has been collected from the Hungarian WP. Best wishes.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 06:18, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

No worries. I expect you didn't appreciate the difference – like almost everyone else on the planet including my Hungarian missus (User:Monkap). One editor at the moment are being rather insistent on e.g. the Hungary article that the language is Magyar language not Hungarian language since, er, the Hungarian for "Hungarian" is "magyar", and the first link redirects to the second, which says so, and whatever.... the former. I don't ever bother to edit that article since it is basically the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 (articles on which Monkap and I have been slowly translating and pulling together over the last six momths) all over again.

I just suggest you stick to saying "Hungarian" it is amazing how quickly these things can turn into turf wars, but do what you will, either term is fine with me.

A Penguin copy of Mikes' How to be an Alien was my first present to my missus. She was quite impressed I knew him at all, and she, living in England now, finds every word of it to be true. I usually have three or four copies so that I can give them to any foreign guest – unfortunately this one stuck!

Best wishes and happy editing. I do appreciate your good work. Si Trew (talk) 07:18, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps I should add that I know Latin but not Hungarian. Thank you for all your good work. (and why not primus? or even rex?) Si Trew (talk) 10:28, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello again, Thank you for the compliments. I find that it is hard to focus on one or two fields now but in the beginning most of what I did was related to Cornwall or the Manchester district since I have lived in both. My Latin is not very good anymore as my study of it happened about 45 years ago so I have contributed very little on Latin WP. I have done a little towards translating from French into English but that is hard going since I have used it so little since leaving school. "Felix Folio" was the author of a book about Manchester in the 19th century and choosing a Latin name made sense as it was once the scholarly language of Europe and anonymity is what I prefer. Like you I know virtually no Hungarian. Best wishes.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 11:28, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

I just use my real name because I am hopeless at remembering any other; I even forget that sometimes. The only trouble, if you can even call it that, is when editing military history articles as part of translating from French ot Hungarian because there's a military historian at Sandhurst called Simon Trew; his expertise is the Bosnians I think.

I studied at Manchester but did not learn my Latin there, more how to cook chips properly.

My very best wishes. The compliments are deserved. When I see your name on an article I know it has been thoughtfully edited, even if I disagree with the edit. It's kinda a mark of quality for it to have your stamp on it. I know WP is not perfect and not finished, I hope the contributions I make go towards making it a little better.

WikiProject Biography rating

Hi. Concerning this edit of yours I would like to inform you that WikiProject Biography doesn't rate pages anymore. This is only done by the various work groups and musician work group has already put a rating in this page. -- Magioladitis (talk) 01:21, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Gottfried van Swieten

"C" means:

• The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or
• contains a lot of irrelevant material.
• The article should have some references to reliable sources,
• but may still have significant issues or
• require substantial cleanup.

Let me know which of these apply and I could work on it. Thanks very much, Opus33 (talk) 00:19, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Now I have had another look I think a more appropriate rating for the article would be 'B'.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 10:10, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

NRHP importance assessment

Hi, Felix. I've noticed you assessing the importance of articles under the scope of {{WikiProject National Register of Historic Places}} recently. While this is very helpful, I don't agree with your importance ratings all of the time. While many wikiprojects have pretty subjective importance scales, WP:NRHP has a somewhat more strict one. If a site is a National Historic Landmark (NHL), it automatically receives a high importance rating. If a site is a local landmark as well as being listed on the NRHP, it may receive a Mid importance rating or may be low importance. The whole criteria list is at the above link, so if you are to continue rating articles in this project, I think maybe you should look over it a bit. I welcome your help with open arms, but placing an incorrect importance rating (especially on NHLs) causes more harm than good and makes others have to double check everything that has already been rated. NRHP project members have recently begun going through the 30K+ articles in the project's scope to check/update their assessment ratings based on our new scale, so having to go through everything more than once is a bit of a pain. I don't mean to reprimand you, but it would be helpful to give these articles the correct rating under that scale. If you don't want to delve into the inner workings of the project, though, you may simply leave the NRHP article unassessed, and someone in the project will eventually get around to it. Thanks for understanding, and most of all thanks for the help! --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 22:28, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Thank you for your advice about the assessment in that project. I have been working on assessing articles for WikiProject Libraries and added ratings for some other projects at the same time. I am sorry if this is a problem in the case of historic sites and will leave these unassessed in future.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 10:34, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Marriage vows

Felxis Secundus (promoted to primus) can you have a look at Marriage Vows

The second section on RC vows trails off at the end. What would b e your opinion. It is worse than useless if it says nothing and leads someone up the garden path, I would cut the section, but that is just my first stab opinion.

I looked at it cos I am engaged to be wed on 6 August but I will be by the Book of Common Prayer. Not cos I am particularly Christian but I just thought that after my Hungarian family have got used to simple English I would plight them my troth.

My sincere regards.

Si Trew (talk) 10:35, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

City of Westminster College

Hi. I note that you've put an extra picture on City of Westminster College. I've checked at the college (I'm freelance press officer Libby Norman) and our understanding is that this building was used by Westminster College (or Westminster Technical College), which merged with Kingsway College to become Westminster Kingsway College. To the best of current staff's knowledge, City of Westminster College has never inhabited any buildings in Vincent Square.

Hello, The article looks much better now after your editing though it is is very short of citations. I noticed that User talk:Roltz where I left a note is a page that keeps getting all the content removed by the user. This means we have to go into History to see previous interactions with that user which is inconvenient. I am not sure whether anything can be done about the blanking.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 13:22, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Hungarians &c

Hi Felix Folio,

Yes, things have been rather quiet on the Hungarian side, partly because User:Monkap and I have been busy arranging our marriage and were threatened with having to move house (the landlady put the place up for sale, but offers are not flooding in, so we are safe for now it seems) and also I have spent two weeks in Budapest on a crash course in Hungarian, where it was, well, "hard" would be the wrong word, but unfeasible, to use the Internet much. I'll spend some time catching up in the next few days.

Best regards as always

Hi, Felix! We don't normally use ALA-LC romanization in Wikipedia because its use is mainly limited to the library catalogs and not to the actual publications. As for the spellings of people's names, we should stick to the spellings used in the sources being cited (I mean the sources in English, of course). If no such sources are available, we use this system (note that it is currently under discussion, but the discussion concerns only a few minor details). Let me know if you need anything further.

I'm wondering why you moved the pictures accompanying the nef article to a gallery.

Mary McCleary article with citation/ references issues

Felix, Thanks for reviewing the Mary McCleary article I have written. It is my first article and I am new to Wikipedia. You left a comment that my citations are not formatted correctly. Unfortunately, I am not able to find my original request for review now that the box with the link has been removed. How do I find my original request? I addressed issues with my references/ citations in that request, and you may have left me a message about what I was doing wrong. I am not certain why my references are not showing up as full text... they are just numbers. I would like to fix this and any other problems with references and citations, but I am not certain how to go about doing this or what all of the problems are (besides the fact that they are just numbers). I followed the examples given in the tutorial and also tried to copy other pages.

Sergio Franchi filmography

Felix, I noticed you made some changes to my new unreviewed article.. possibly categorizing it. I have noticed your work with listes, and would appreciate it if you would review my article. The link for requesting a review does not work. Please let me know is you can, and post comments on article talk page. (I think this is appropriate request. I am new and still learning protocol). Thanks, CatherineCathlec (talk) 15:54, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Felix, thanks for the review. I have read the article that you suggested and cannot fathom your meaning. I cannot see where the "URL is displayed in the article."

Article Review...

Hi Felix!

I noticed that you reviewed the article I had created on Stephen Campbell - and thank you very much for doing that :) I wondered if you might be happy to take down the 'this is a new unreviewed article' tag now, or were you thinking that it could do with another look over?

All best, and thanks again!

Your changes seems to be ok. I have the two articles now on my watchlist. In the moment I have have no time, because I translate a book.

Hello! I notice that you rated this article while I was in the middle of copy-editing (or procrastinating over, or being distracted from) it. I’m not asking you to change your ratings, but I’d appreciate it if you could give it a second glance, particularly if the quality of the prose was at all relevant to your evaluation. I just feel somewhat responsible for its not being in top form, so to speak, while it was reviewed ‘on my watch’ (per a request to the GOCE). Thanks.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 11:23, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Jaeger-Lecoultre article

Hello,

I have just seen that you rated as “start class” the following article about Jaeger-LeCoultre: [[1]].

I work for a digital agency servicing Jaeger-LeCoultre and am currently involved in a project concerning this Wikipedia page. I posted the article I wrote on the discussion page. I diversified the references as much as possible and tried to keep a neutral point of view throughout the article.

I would really appreciate your advice or comments about my article, including which rate it could possibly obtain. I am aware that as a Brand contributor, I should take great care to respect Wikipedia’s policies. If you could have a look at the article, I would greatly appreciate your feedback.

Thank you for your time and assistance, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Please feel free to have a look at my user page for a better understanding of my aim [[2]]

Many thanks --DW nbatchelor (talk) 09:37, 25 April 2013 (UTC) See that talk page

Hello,

I hope you are doing well since our last discussions !

I am contacting you because we have some difficulties with another Wikipedia contributor who wants to make modifications on our articles. This person is from Germany and is already rejecting every single suggestion from us on the existing DE article and is now asking to make modifications on the EN article. He clearly has a problem with the fact that we work with JLC despite our efforts to comply with Wikipedia rules so we would need your point of view.

Could you please see his last comment on the talk page and join the discussion ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jaeger-LeCoultre#Paid_editing

We would very much appreciate your help on this.

Many thanks ! DW nbatchelor (talk) 14:37, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Enid Blyton etc.

Hello Felix, in the moment is a lot to do. Two months ago I visited the Church day in Hamburg and I found a little book to the German Lutheran Churches, also to this good old friend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Joseph_Studio :-) Hope I will find soon the time to make the little changes of the article. Today I have had an discussion in the enid blyton society forum: http://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5365&start=225 Somebody means that the German TKKG books were translated into English. The English Wikipedia article suggested it, but I suppose it is false. I wrote on the talk page and changed one sentence. Maybe you will find an information to it? Hope all is well. friendyl greetings from the sunny Flensburg. :-) --Soenke Rahn (talk) 16:51, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Oh bad, computer problems. Hope you have no data loss. :-( Today, we have also a good weather in Flensburg. Weeks ago I have broken my arm ... but it goes now better again. If I will find time I will make some enquiry in this question: Fünf Freunde geraten ins Abenteuer (German Famous Five Adventure Translation). Over 120 pages to translate takes a lot of time ... but it was interesting. :-)

What's the purpose of {{DEFAULTSORT}} ?

Hello, Felix --- Thank you for your editing work on Sue Draheim. Being very new to Wikipedia, I'm not quite sure what the purpose is of adding the {{DEFAULTSORT}}. I've read a few WP articles about this template, but the articles all assume the reader has a firmer grasp on the fundamentals of WP terminology than I do. As far as I can see, no physical changes have occurred and, although you titled your change "External links: defsort", I don't see any changes in the external links section. Can you explain, in very simple terms what that {{DEFAULTSORT}} does? Thank you.--Akhooha (talk) 15:29, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

This template is not intended to produce any change to the appearance of the article which includes it. However it makes it possible for lists of articles to be organized otherwise than by all the words in the article name (sorted by the numerical values of the ASCII characters): so books or organizations which have "The" beginning their article names will alphabetise by the next word; people with surnames can be listed alphabetically by their surnames rather than their forenames; and any article names with words beginning with small letters or which include modified letters like 'æ', 'é' or 'ç' can be listed under the basic letters, capitalising all words. Many articles which ought to have "DEFAULTSORT" do not yet do so. Because of the missing "DEFAULTSORT" Sue Draheim was listed under "S" in Category:Irish fiddlers (colon stops this talk page joining the category). The edit summary says "External links" because that is the last section which can be edited separately; when a section is edited the section title is copied into the summary and it is more useful to just add to it rather than replace it.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 19:15, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your very clear explanation.--Akhooha (talk) 19:45, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Sorry: I just filled in a Religious texts assessment based on that for Judaism. It was rated "C" by WP Palestine more recently. As I do not belong to any of the 3 projects you might want to request reassessment at one of them.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 06:59, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for bumping it up to a C. (Gee, I never thought I'd ever say that again!) I had assumed, perhaps not unreasonably, that an editor with the Latin user name of ~"Happy Second Book" was most certainly an overlord of WP:WikiProject Religious texts, hence my fit of pique. I'd bother to drive it up to a "B", but per the wisdom of Koheleth, I'm simply not vain enough to vest too much time in the ratings of articles I've worked hard on. ;) -- Kendrick7^talk 09:52, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Charvet Place Vendôme

Hello Felix, I understand your edit's point was to remove the white spaces. This goes against the practice on this article since this edit and the rest of the article. Would you mind if I would keep the preexisting layout which is easier to maintain ? Cheers, — Racconish^Tk 06:56, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

My starting point in that copyediting was to amend a spelling mistake "ans" for "and" in one of the citations and while I went through looking for it I made a few more slight changes. I prefer not to have citations displayed over many lines like that as it slows down movement through the text. It is a remarkably detailed article; as there is a consistent style in force there I would not object to the restoration of that style for the citations though I hope my other corrections can be retained.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 07:39, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

No problem. I generally agree with you white space slows down reading, but it helps maintain nested references. Thanks, — Racconish^Tk 07:54, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Jaeger-LeCoultre update

Hello Felix

Hope you are fine.

I get back to you because as you know I want to share with the community additional news that will enrich Jaeger-LeCoultre English article. I would like to highlight that "Jérôme Lambert" is no longer Jaeger-LeCoultre’ CEO. The current CEO of the company is Daniel Riedo.

You can check this information in this article Jaeger-LeCoultre Appoints New CEO Daniel Riedo.

I would like to know if you can update the Key people section.

I look foward to hearing from you.

Champagne Krug article update

Hello Felix,

I’m the person in charge of Krug Wikipedia project. Krug wants to publish the article we post on Champagne Krug talk page seven months ago. And which was well-validated by the community.

I put the article in the link below: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Champagne_Krug

I would like to know if you can publish it. I'm not able to do it myself because I was involved in a sockpuppery investigation due to the fact that I work in an agency where several persons work in the same project. So we share the same IP address. Please tell me if you can update this information.

Thank you very much and have a good day.

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of schools offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (2nd nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

"Speedy deletion of Lilly Christine"

A tag has been placed on Lilly Christine requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

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 biographies.

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.

This article was speedily deleted as it was completely unsourced and did not demonstrate the notability of the subject. If you think you can create an article that is suitable on this subject, you can request the deleting admin or another admin such as myself copy the text back into your userspace so you can work on it. It would appear though that the individual would not meet the guidelines for inclusion for biographies and would not survive as a stand alone article as a result.
