[edit]Hello, I'm Dcirovic. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Carl Grimes— because it didn’t appear constructive to me.

Alert: Donald Trump
[edit]Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.Dervorguilla (talk) 06:14, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited Alonso Duralde, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages East Point and Georgia.

Speedy deletion nomination of Owen's Scrapbook
[edit]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 Owen's Scrapbook requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and 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.
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 removed 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. Pmedema (talk) 23:40, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:OwensScrapbook.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:OwensScrapbook.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:56, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on The Weekly Planet requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

[edit]Hello. Your recent edit to Hell, Michigan appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

The article Tyler O'Day has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No indication of notability, no references to reliable sources that demonstrate notability, search does not reveal anything but brief mentions.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 00:50, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

- Although I'm not the person who deleted the article, I responded on the talk page to your comment on why it shouldn't be deleted. Just in case you didn't actually see it, I wanted to repost it here for context:
- Being a "major player" on Medium is not a Wikipedia notability criterion in and of itself, and all of this article's sources are to his own content. A person gets a Wikipedia article by being the subject of reliable source coverage written by other people, not by being the author of his own sources.
- In other words, to make a person notable enough for a Wikipedia article, it is not enough to use his own self-published sources to demonstrate that he exists. You need to use reliable sources that are independent of him to prove that media are paying attention to his accomplishments. Hope that clarifies things a bit. Bearcat (talk) 17:31, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks, that clarifies things for me. --Volvlogia (talk) 02:44, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use File:Chuggaaconroy.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Chuggaaconroy.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Train2104 (t • c) 16:54, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

The article Mario J. Lanza has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. --Animalparty!

- Volvlogia: a bit of advice as the person who was the filing party in the last ArbCom case: the people who are involved with the dispute will be well aware of what is going on, so there is no need to inform anyone who hasn't been named a party (with how watchlists work, I promise you that will serve as notification enough for anyone who is at all interested, and it also addresses Floquenbeam's concern.) If the case is accepted committee can add anyone they think should be a party, so there is no need for you to ask someone to co-sign with you. As the filing party, you probably could get away with naming more parties to the case now, but I wouldn't: you're a relatively inexperienced user filing a case in what is probably the most complex environment on Wikipedia. Answer the committee's questions when they have them, be transparent, and civil, and try not to get too frustrated when the request and/or case gets overly complex or heated. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:52, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you, I appreciate the advice.

[edit] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. NeilN talk to me 05:13, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
If you still want to split the article please fix the attribution. And please use edit summaries explaining what you are doing. --NeilN talk to me 05:16, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

An arbitration case regarding civility in infobox discussions has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
- Any uninvolved administrator may apply infobox probation as a discretionary sanction. See the full decision for details of infobox probation.
- Standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all discussions about infoboxes and to edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes.
- Cassianto is indefinitely placed on infobox probation.
- The Arbitration Committee recommends that well-publicized community discussions be held to address whether to adopt a policy or guideline addressing what factors should weigh in favor of or against including an infobox in a given article and how those factors should be weighted.
- All editors are reminded to maintain decorum and civility when engaged in discussions about infoboxes, and to not turn discussions about a single article's infobox into a discussion about infoboxes in general.
- For canvassing editors to this case, Volvlogia (talk · contribs) is admonished. They are warned that any further instances of canvassing related to arbitration processes will likely result in sanctions.
- Discuss this at: Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard#Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Civility in infobox discussions closed

Reminder
[edit]Hi, Volvlogia. I would like to request one thing: the ArbCom case that you filed only closed very recently, and I would like to ask you to be very cautious with adding Infoboxes to articles that could potentially be contentious (common knowledge indicates liberal arts biographies); as the situation is very volatile, please propose on talk pages prior to adding any Infoboxes; be specific with your proposal, such as which parameters would benefit the reader, content wise. Infoboxes are optional by nature, and without discussion your edits may eventually be considered as disruptive. Regards, Alex Shih (talk) 15:32, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
DS alert
[edit]Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding discussions about infoboxes and to edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system.

White House Communications Director
[edit]Hi, Vovlogia. There's really no need to mention the lack of a White House Communications Director, as it's clearly implied (and plainly stated, too); once the President appoints a new director (well, if he does so), the page will be updated to reflect that. While the President may choose to not have a communications director, the lack of one doesn't merit its own box (see, for instance, the Carter presidency, the time between Koehler and Griscom, etc.). Likewise, the usage of "Ongoing" under the "Term duration" heading really doesn't fit, for consistency purposes. As such, I've reverted your edit; I hope you don't mind. Also, I'm not sure how Visual editing works, but please don't forget to add an edit summary. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Javert2113 (talk • contribs) 17:56, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of DJTJ
[edit]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 DJTJ, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 23:39, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Percy Jackson Portrait.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Percy Jackson Portrait.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:38, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm Toddst1. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Linda Cardellini, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Toddst1 (talk) 04:02, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Brie Larson "filmography"
[edit]Hi, you incorrectly moved "List of Brie Larson performances" to "Brie Larson filmography". If you take a look at the tables in the page, it is not just a listing of her film and television appearances, but also of her stage appearances and work as a singer. As such, "list of performances" is most accurate for the page, per such titles as List of Amy Adams performances, List of Kate Winslet performances, etc. Cheers! --Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:29, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

All users who registered an account before Sunday, 28 October 2018, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Thursday, 1 November 2018 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority 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.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Silent No More (Corsi book) moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Silent No More (Corsi book), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

The article Faiz Shakir has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Per WP:N. There are a few sources available, but it seems like he is WP:INHERITing notability from the people he's worked for. Maybe the political director role for ACLU is enough?
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Comatmebro (talk) 20:42, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
Sanders article
[edit]I've already made 3 reverts on the article today so I'm not going to make any additional reverts, so I figured I'd give you a heads-up regarding this edit – the |children=

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Faiz Shakir. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Faiz Shakir), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

[edit]Speedy deletion nomination of Ofrit Liviatan
[edit]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 Ofrit Liviatan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://scholar.harvard.edu/oliviatan/home. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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. 82.132.212.254 (talk) 06:42, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

[edit]Hi there. The winners lists are already sortable by team. The individual winners do not need to be duplicated in the table listing the teams with the most winners. You've been reverted a few times before, but you are still making the same style changes in new lists. Feel free to establish consensus for your changes at WT:NBA if you disagree. Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 05:59, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Chuggaaconroy
[edit]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 Chuggaaconroy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chuggaaconroy. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
