Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a message letting you know that one of your recent edits to Booting has been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Joshua Bonehill-Paine, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. McGeddon ( talk) 00:20, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
You deciding that something "marks the beginning" of a shift to something is original research; you need to find a secondary source that agrees with your interpretation if it's to go in an article. And quoting a subject's own website is inappropriate use of a WP:PRIMARY source (and more significantly goes against WP:BLPSELFPUB if he's talking about other people) - Wikipedia only has any interest in statements made by Bonehill when they have attracted actual press coverage, not every stupid thing he happens to say on his website. -- McGeddon ( talk) 10:53, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:GillinghamSchool.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 00:39, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

The new version you uploaded of the school's crest/logo has been tagged as missing copyright information by a bot. The file will be eventually deleted if this is not addressed. Moreover, your claim that the file is {{ PD-textlogo}} seem questionable at best and a posible copyright violation at worst. The threshold of originality in the United Kingdom is much lower than it is in other countries and this certainly seems to be well above it and too complex to even be considered ineligible for copyright protection. Logos of UK companies/organiztions, etc. much less complex than this are regularly deleted from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.
So, unless you're very confident that your choice of PD licensing is going to stand-up in a FFD discussion, my suggestion to you would be to reupload the logo as {{ non-free logo}} for use in the school's article. This would mean that the file would not be able to be used on your user page; however, if that's the only reason you want to license the file as PD, then you might want to reconsider your motivation for doing so. Once something is licensed as such, it cannot really be taken back. Bascially, anyone anywhere in the world can download a PD or freely licensed photo at any time for any purpose, including to make derivatives and to use commercially, and there will not much that either you or the school can do to stop them. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 21:46, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Typically admins don’t need other users to clerk requests for permissions: Musikbot tells us if the prerequisites are met or if the flag has recently been denied, and most of us have the ability to look at a contribution history on our own. This is also a bit presumptuous to be clerking on a flag you were literally granted 12 days ago (pending changes reviewer), which is handed out very liberally, and on a permission you don’t even have yourself (rollback). Basically it can come of as being a jerk to other users that you are putting them through the ringer on their experience when you aren’t particularly experienced yourself.

Just so you know, when nominating an article for deletion, Twinkle automatically notifies the author as a courtesy unless you opt out, and typically it is seen as bad form to not notify someone with the Twinkle template, even if they are a regular.

Dear Sir, Good Day. The page of Western Marine is with full of objectionable news. Now Western Marine is in the right shape with due compliance with the regulatory requirement of Bangladesh Bank. Recently WMShL exported an Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) to Kenya for their Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock & Fisheries, the State Department for Fisheries and the Blue Economy. The 35 nautical miles speed (70km) OPV bagged the WorkBoat World best large patrol builder award 2017. It is the most capable OPV boat in the Kenyan MOF and is being used to patrol the Kenyan Exclusive Economic Zone, keeping an eye on illegal fishing and unauthorized attempts to access Kenyan natural recourses as well as responding to natural disasters along the coast and islands. Now, the world knows Bangladesh to be a country capable of building world-class ships. A high-tech fishing trawler of 3,300 DWT, named Norwegian Fishing Trawler (NFT), is being built by the WMSL for Norway. It is supposed to be the largest NFT and it will be handed over by 2019. Moreover, they have exported 2 units of 8,000DWT Mini Bulk Carrier for Jindal Steel Works, India, the biggest Ships Ever Built in Bangladesh and 01 unit of 65m Landing Craft, exported to UAE last year. Currently, They are building 32 ships for local and foreign buyers. Moreover, On the OPV handover ceremony, the Finance Minister of the People Republic of Bangladesh was present. Please see the news: http://www.thedailystar.net/business/western-marine-hands-over-18m-vessel-built-kenya-1448206
Hope you may understand. And please go through our edited history, then you got the points more.
However, if you need additional information, please let us know which document you will be required to satisfy your requirement. We will provide you all. But this way if you regularly editing Western Marine information in such a wrong way with old news, it is defaming our reputation in Global Shipbuilding Industry. Hope you will consider and support us to grow.

Before you use this user right, please read Wikipedia:Template editor and make sure you understand its contents. In particular, you should read the section on wise template editing and the criteria for revocation.
You can use this user right to perform maintenance, answer edit requests, and make any other simple and generally uncontroversial edits to templates, modules, and edinotices. You can also use it to enact more complex or controversial edits, after those edits are first made to a test sandbox, and their technical reliability as well as their consensus among other informed editors has been established. If you are willing to process edit requests on templates and modules, keep in mind that you are taking responsibility to ensure the edits have consensus and are technically sound.
This user right gives you access to some of Wikipedia's most important templates and modules; it is critical that you edit them wisely and that you only make edits that are backed up by consensus. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.
If you were granted the permission on a temporary basis you will need to re-apply for the permission a few days before it expires including in your request a permalink to the discussion where it was granted and a {{ ping}} for the administrator who granted the permission. You can find the permalink in your rights log.

Hi, Bellezzasolo. I don't often do AfD closures, but when closing a AfD nomination, I think you should note in your closing summary about some irregularities in the nomination; in this case, the fact that Kwamevaughan have voted three times should have been clearly noted. When you discount some of their repetitive comments and assess the only other editor (excluding the nominator) that commented (by Acebulf), despite of voting week keep they have expressed doubts on the reliability of the sources. The job of the closer is to assess consensus (in this case, there really wasn't any), not to provide new observations, which I think your closing summary could be interpreted as such.

FWIW, I don't think there is any obligation to use a standardized template to notify another editor on their talk page of their being discussed on ANI, and in fact the template and a new talk section seems suboptimal when (as here) the edit that led to the ANI report took place on the user's talk page; I notified the user here.

Hello,
I want to apologize to the entire Wikipedia community for my actions. I understand that this is a major thing here that shouldn't be tolerated and it never dawned on me that sandboxes, private pages, could be seen by others. I had only written that, as a project for an online class that I'm apart of. If I had known my consequences would be this harsh and rough, then I would have never done it in the first place.
I have these fantasies about things in my life that I would like to come true, and Wikipedia almost makes them come true. Growing up, my grandmother always told me, "if it's on Wiki, its legit". I always had this dream about designing my own school, I had this dream about creating my own TV series, and stuff like that. At the time of me doing it. Editing my own article, gave me the sense that it was real, and I liked how I edited it. It seemed so professional, and well constructed, that I thought that nothing would be in my path.
If you want, I do, give permission for you guys to delete my article(s). I realize now that its a serious offense in this community, and can promise, that this will never, never, happen again on this IP address. A link sent me a FANDOM page, and I will use that from now on.
I appreciate this very, very much. I hope we can let bygones be bygones, and move on from this situation.

Hello Bellezzasolo. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia; if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various
deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at
page reviewer talk.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Alex Shih ( talk) 06:21, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

RR this reply (replying here as the user clearly does not want me posting on his page). I disagree that nothing can be done. This is a straight up violation of DS. An edit notice is not required. The user has been alerted to ARBPIA prior to his edits. I could simply take this to AE (or the edit warring noticeboard). I prefer not do so without asking for a self revert first - which I did - however given the reply why shouldn't I take this to AE? Icewhiz ( talk) 04:11, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
Just friendly advice and personal opinion – re Special:Diff/834064153, I'm not sure that was helpful. The goal's to encourage editors to broaden their interests beyond the RfA, not to set them on a hat-collecting/editcountitis path. Additionally, content work is what most people think of as "editing Wikipedia", not vandalism patrol, and I think that focusing your message on vandalism might have also been confusing.
Also, I'm just wondering why {{ Visibility}} is being used in your editnotice? That template's designed for the talk pages of project pages in namespaces that are not usually used, like MediaWiki Talk and so forth and certainly not for user talk pages, where discussion can and does happen.

Generally, there is no reason to report usernames with no edits whatsoever. Per WP:UAAI: "Wait until the user edits. Do not report a user that hasn't edited unless they are clearly a vandal. We do not want to welcome productive editors with a report at UAA, nor do we want to waste our time dealing with accounts that may never be used." The exceptions are obvious hate speech or names that attack a living person/Wikipedia editor, those are blockable even without any edits, but other run-of-the-mill violations need not be reported unless and until they at least attempt to edit, and you should be able to clearly explain what the problem is if it is not immediately evident.
For whatever reason, every day dozens, if not hundreds of accounts are created that never make one single edit. It is our responsibility as admins to conscientiously review every report a user makes at UAA, so we have to check for contribs, deleted contribs, and tripping of the edit filter for every one of these reports, only to find out there's nothing there and therefore no problem to be solved. So we add the {{ wait}} tag to the report, it goes to WP:UAA/HP for a week or more, and must then be reviewed again to see if the account has since become active before removing it. That's time that could be spent doing more productive things, but you basically obligate admins to do it by making such reports. Beeblebrox ( talk) 16:22, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi there! I noticed you did a non-admin closure on my AfD nomination here. I can see why this would appear to be a SNOW close, but upon further inspection, the claims are somewhat unfounded. For instance, The Telegraph reference doesn't mention the subject at all, the Wales Online reference mentions the subject once and only in passing. As the keep votes mentioned, Nursing Online is a trade magazine, falling short of the audience required to categorize it as "wide-spread" media. For this and a couple other reasons, I ask that you consider reverting your closure, allowing me to post my rebuttal. Thanks in advance! Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 18:10, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello,
There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.
There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: /info/en/?search=Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{ infobox ship}} is parsed).
If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Wikipedia:Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.

At
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ingrid Aliaga Fernández, your NAC rationale was The result was keep. Fairly good consensus to keep. Arguments against were that there didn't seem to be much in depth coverage. Arguments for included asserting notability through several sources and a new SNG from WikiProject Chess.
.
As was pointed out in that discussion, WP:NCHESS is most definitely not an SNG and has little-to-no chance of becoming one. It's some guidance added recently by a handful of WikiProject members with no broad community support. Since our notability guideline requires some "significant"/in-depth coverage, the only relevant question, as I see it, is whether the arguments that show source coverage amounts to "significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject" or if they do not and instead rely on WP:NCHESS.
Don't get me wrong, as much as we don't want to admit it, headcounts matter in an AfD like this and I can't see anyone actually closing it as delete, but that you called the basis for the arguments an SNG, lending credibility to something that is far from a guideline as basis for keeping, is a little irksome. I wouldn't bother sending to DRV, but would request changing the closing statement to something that indicates that the keep arguments made a stronger policy/guideline-based case than the delete arguments, or something to that effect. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:07, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Joshua Bonehill-Paine, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. McGeddon ( talk) 00:20, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
You deciding that something "marks the beginning" of a shift to something is original research; you need to find a secondary source that agrees with your interpretation if it's to go in an article. And quoting a subject's own website is inappropriate use of a WP:PRIMARY source (and more significantly goes against WP:BLPSELFPUB if he's talking about other people) - Wikipedia only has any interest in statements made by Bonehill when they have attracted actual press coverage, not every stupid thing he happens to say on his website. -- McGeddon ( talk) 10:53, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:GillinghamSchool.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

The new version you uploaded of the school's crest/logo has been tagged as missing copyright information by a bot. The file will be eventually deleted if this is not addressed. Moreover, your claim that the file is {{ PD-textlogo}} seem questionable at best and a posible copyright violation at worst. The threshold of originality in the United Kingdom is much lower than it is in other countries and this certainly seems to be well above it and too complex to even be considered ineligible for copyright protection. Logos of UK companies/organiztions, etc. much less complex than this are regularly deleted from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.
So, unless you're very confident that your choice of PD licensing is going to stand-up in a FFD discussion, my suggestion to you would be to reupload the logo as {{ non-free logo}} for use in the school's article. This would mean that the file would not be able to be used on your user page; however, if that's the only reason you want to license the file as PD, then you might want to reconsider your motivation for doing so. Once something is licensed as such, it cannot really be taken back. Bascially, anyone anywhere in the world can download a PD or freely licensed photo at any time for any purpose, including to make derivatives and to use commercially, and there will not much that either you or the school can do to stop them. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 21:46, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I’m Charlene McMann and I’m trying to be removed from Wikipedia. I’m not a notable person to be on a Wikipedia. My husband Scott Seaman put me on here and I took a plea deal but I was threatened to do so. You took him off and he wanted to stay on. I don’t want to be on here, it’s ruining my life and I have many health issues. I don’t know how to use all this Wikipedia stuff and can figure it out. I’m trying to be removed because of what I posted before. I’m not trying to disrespect Wikiepedias guidelines at all, I can’t figure them out. I have poor eye sight from losing done vision in my eye so I can’t follow everything. I’m not familiar with the stuff like you are.

Hi. Typically admins don’t need other users to clerk requests for permissions: Musikbot tells us if the prerequisites are met or if the flag has recently been denied, and most of us have the ability to look at a contribution history on our own. This is also a bit presumptuous to be clerking on a flag you were literally granted 12 days ago (pending changes reviewer), which is handed out very liberally, and on a permission you don’t even have yourself (rollback). Basically it can come of as being a jerk to other users that you are putting them through the ringer on their experience when you aren’t particularly experienced yourself.

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 that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing.

Just so you know, when nominating an article for deletion, Twinkle automatically notifies the author as a courtesy unless you opt out, and typically it is seen as bad form to not notify someone with the Twinkle template, even if they are a regular. Also, it’s probably safe to assume that a member of the arbitration committee who has a link to DTTR in her talk header is aware of the concept and doesn’t need a not-funny template reminder about it.

Dear Sir, Good Day. The page of Western Marine is with full of objectionable news. Now Western Marine is in the right shape with due compliance with the regulatory requirement of Bangladesh Bank. Recently WMShL exported an Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) to Kenya for their Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock & Fisheries, the State Department for Fisheries and the Blue Economy. The 35 nautical miles speed (70km) OPV bagged the WorkBoat World best large patrol builder award 2017. It is the most capable OPV boat in the Kenyan MOF and is being used to patrol the Kenyan Exclusive Economic Zone, keeping an eye on illegal fishing and unauthorized attempts to access Kenyan natural recourses as well as responding to natural disasters along the coast and islands. Now, the world knows Bangladesh to be a country capable of building world-class ships. A high-tech fishing trawler of 3,300 DWT, named Norwegian Fishing Trawler (NFT), is being built by the WMSL for Norway. It is supposed to be the largest NFT and it will be handed over by 2019. Moreover, they have exported 2 units of 8,000DWT Mini Bulk Carrier for Jindal Steel Works, India, the biggest Ships Ever Built in Bangladesh and 01 unit of 65m Landing Craft, exported to UAE last year. Currently, They are building 32 ships for local and foreign buyers. Moreover, On the OPV handover ceremony, the Finance Minister of the People Republic of Bangladesh was present. Please see the news: http://www.thedailystar.net/business/western-marine-hands-over-18m-vessel-built-kenya-1448206
Hope you may understand. And please go through our edited history, then you got the points more.
However, if you need additional information, please let us know which document you will be required to satisfy your requirement. We will provide you all. But this way if you regularly editing Western Marine information in such a wrong way with old news, it is defaming our reputation in Global Shipbuilding Industry. Hope you will consider and support us to grow.

Your account has been granted the "templateeditor" user permission, allowing you to edit templates and modules that have been protected with template protection. It also allows you to bypass the title blacklist, giving you the ability to create and edit editnotices. Before you use this user right, please read Wikipedia:Template editor and make sure you understand its contents. In particular, you should read the section on wise template editing and the criteria for revocation.
You can use this user right to perform maintenance, answer edit requests, and make any other simple and generally uncontroversial edits to templates, modules, and edinotices. You can also use it to enact more complex or controversial edits, after those edits are first made to a test sandbox, and their technical reliability as well as their consensus among other informed editors has been established. If you are willing to process edit requests on templates and modules, keep in mind that you are taking responsibility to ensure the edits have consensus and are technically sound.
This user right gives you access to some of Wikipedia's most important templates and modules; it is critical that you edit them wisely and that you only make edits that are backed up by consensus. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.
If you were granted the permission on a temporary basis you will need to re-apply for the permission a few days before it expires including in your request a permalink to the discussion where it was granted and a {{ ping}} for the administrator who granted the permission. You can find the permalink in your rights log.

Hi, Bellezzasolo. I don't often do AfD closures, but when closing a AfD nomination, I think you should note in your closing summary about some irregularities in the nomination; in this case, the fact that Kwamevaughan have voted three times should have been clearly noted. When you discount some of their repetitive comments and assess the only other editor (excluding the nominator) that commented (by Acebulf), despite of voting week keep they have expressed doubts on the reliability of the sources. The job of the closer is to assess consensus (in this case, there really wasn't any), not to provide new observations, which I think your closing summary could be interpreted as such.

FWIW, I don't think there is any obligation to use a standardized template to notify another editor on their talk page of their being discussed on ANI, and in fact the template and a new talk section seems suboptimal when (as here) the edit that led to the ANI report took place on the user's talk page; I notified the user here.

Hello,
I want to apologize to the entire Wikipedia community for my actions. I understand that this is a major thing here that shouldn't be tolerated and it never dawned on me that sandboxes, private pages, could be seen by others. I had only written that, as a project for an online class that I'm apart of. If I had known my consequences would be this harsh and rough, then I would have never done it in the first place.
I have these fantasies about things in my life that I would like to come true, and Wikipedia almost makes them come true. Growing up, my grandmother always told me, "if it's on Wiki, its legit". I always had this dream about designing my own school, I had this dream about creating my own TV series, and stuff like that. At the time of me doing it. Editing my own article, gave me the sense that it was real, and I liked how I edited it. It seemed so professional, and well constructed, that I thought that nothing would be in my path.
If you want, I do, give permission for you guys to delete my article(s). I realize now that its a serious offense in this community, and can promise, that this will never, never, happen again on this IP address. A link sent me a FANDOM page, and I will use that from now on.
I appreciate this very, very much. I hope we can let bygones be bygones, and move on from this situation.

Hello Bellezzasolo. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia; if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various
deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at
page reviewer talk.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Alex Shih ( talk) 06:21, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

RR this reply (replying here as the user clearly does not want me posting on his page). I disagree that nothing can be done. This is a straight up violation of DS. An edit notice is not required. The user has been alerted to ARBPIA prior to his edits. I could simply take this to AE (or the edit warring noticeboard).

Just friendly advice and personal opinion – re Special:Diff/834064153, I'm not sure that was helpful. The goal's to encourage editors to broaden their interests beyond the RfA, not to set them on a hat-collecting/editcountitis path. Additionally, content work is what most people think of as "editing Wikipedia", not vandalism patrol, and I think that focusing your message on vandalism might have also been confusing.
Also, I'm just wondering why {{ Visibility}} is being used in your editnotice? That template's designed for the talk pages of project pages in namespaces that are not usually used, like MediaWiki Talk and so forth and certainly not for user talk pages, where discussion can and does happen.

The exceptions are obvious hate speech or names that attack a living person/Wikipedia editor, those are blockable even without any edits, but other run-of-the-mill violations need not be reported unless and until they at least attempt to edit, and you should be able to clearly explain what the problem is if it is not immediately evident.
For whatever reason, every day dozens, if not hundreds of accounts are created that never make one single edit. It is our responsibility as admins to conscientiously review every report a user makes at UAA, so we have to check for contribs, deleted contribs, and tripping of the edit filter for every one of these reports, only to find out there's nothing there and therefore no problem to be solved. So we add the {{ wait}} tag to the report, it goes to WP:UAA/HP for a week or more, and must then be reviewed again to see if the account has since become active before removing it. That's time that could be spent doing more productive things, but you basically obligate admins to do it by making such reports. Beeblebrox ( talk) 16:22, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Bellezzasolo, the edit was EXTREMELY constructive. The likelihood of being attacked by a tewwowist is .000023% of the likelihood of being struck by lightning while eating a blue cheese sandwich in a cafe on Mars. It is NEGLIGIBLE. As long as these "safety concerns" are not exposed for what they are -- *paranoia* straight out of 1984, then we'll never get away from the Two Minutes' Hate.
Oh oh. Now the thought police will come get me. Oh noooooo ........... not the rats !!

Hi there! I noticed you did a non-admin closure on my AfD nomination here. I can see why this would appear to be a SNOW close, but upon further inspection, the claims are somewhat unfounded. For instance, The Telegraph reference doesn't mention the subject at all, the Wales Online reference mentions the subject once and only in passing. As the keep votes mentioned, Nursing Online is a trade magazine, falling short of the audience required to categorize it as "wide-spread" media. For this and a couple other reasons, I ask that you consider reverting your closure, allowing me to post my rebuttal. Thanks in advance! Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 18:10, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Can you please add this to the mission section: Pelicans provide combat-ready C-17A Globemaster III aircrews for worldwide airlift missions supporting Department of Defense and National Command Authority directives. They conduct air refueling, airdrop and airland operations supporting global contingencies for combatant commanders by projecting and sustaining combat forces directly into theater drop zones and austere airfields.

Hello,
There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.
There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: /info/en/?search=Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{ infobox ship}} is parsed).
If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Wikipedia:Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.
Thank you for all the good things you do for the English Wikipedia. Whatamidoing (WMF) ( talk) 21:18, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

On 23 April 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gavin Lowe (computer scientist), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Gavin Lowe went from being at John's to being at Hugh's, but finally ended up at Catherine's? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gavin Lowe (computer scientist). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Gavin Lowe (computer scientist)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

At
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ingrid Aliaga Fernández, your NAC rationale was The result was keep. Fairly good consensus to keep. Arguments against were that there didn't seem to be much in depth coverage. Arguments for included asserting notability through several sources and a new SNG from WikiProject Chess.
.
As was pointed out in that discussion, WP:NCHESS is most definitely not an SNG and has little-to-no chance of becoming one. It's some guidance added recently by a handful of WikiProject members with no broad community support. Since our notability guideline requires some "significant"/in-depth coverage, the only relevant question, as I see it, is whether the arguments that show source coverage amounts to "significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject" or if they do not and instead rely on WP:NCHESS.
Don't get me wrong, as much as we don't want to admit it, headcounts matter in an AfD like this and I can't see anyone actually closing it as delete, but that you called the basis for the arguments an SNG, lending credibility to something that is far from a guideline as basis for keeping, is a little irksome. I wouldn't bother sending to DRV, but would request changing the closing statement to something that indicates that the keep arguments made a stronger policy/guideline-based case than the delete arguments, or something to that effect. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:07, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Good afternoon.
I created a Wikipedia page for Arvind Ravulavaru, an Indian author and innovator. The page, however, is recommended for deletion.
May I ask suggestions from you as to how the page can be made more sufficient enough to remain in Wikipedia?
Thank you very much.
Good afternoon.
I received your reply and acted in accordance with your suggestions. I do hope that they help this time, as they now contain more notable and reliable sources.
Thank you very much.
I believe there are sufficent citations for her, as most of her information matches her writing partner Marc Silversein who does have an extensive page.
What is the issue please?

I'm not sure what 'official' Signpost policy is, but I would imagine that while drafts are still in user space and have not been moved/transcluded to the newsroom, that they should still enjoy users space privileges - even if for layout experiment purposes they are housed in a Signpost page shell. I certainly encourage and appreciate your enthusiasm, but please see WP:UP#OWN and please don't edit anything in my user space without the courtesy of a discussion on my main talk page first. Thanks.
