In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia

, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. » Shadowowl | talk 11:58, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

WP:DOB says Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object
.
Martindale-Hubbell is reliable, but it is not widely available in the same way that we normally expect for BLPs. It is likely provided by the subject, (
Newyorkbrad), but publication in a law directory is somewhat different than an interview with 60 Minutes in which it is self-disclosed, and providing it there is not the same as it being in an infobox that will feed to Google. I'm pinging him in case he wants to comment as to whether or not he is fine with the full DOB being published, but we don't throw our privacy protections out the window simply because the subject is a high profile editor.

Hi Everymorning,
We finally have a definitive answer: The minimum deaths for posting an article is 9. Some stampede in Caracas was posted with 9 deaths, while many of it's supporters were opposed to the Miami bridge collapse which had only six deaths. Both items had reprints of wire stories in major global publications but failed to maintain global headlines. I think it's settled once and for all, 9 deaths is the minimum. Would you please update your essay?

Hello IntoThinAir, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

Hello, IntoThinAir. We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things
you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a
conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the
conflict of interest guideline and
FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 17:12, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited London Conference on Intelligence, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Edward Dutton ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

Hi there,
I work for the AMA, and we are interested in correcting a few factual inaccuracies in the AMA Journal of Ethics page. Since we're aware of the guidelines to not edit pages about yourself or your company, we were hoping that you could serve as an impartial intermediary to screen potential edits for neutralness and tone.
Please let me know if this is something we can pursue or if you know a better way to go about fixing these inaccuracies.

You might find {{ JAH}} usefull. It's designed to be used in preview mode mostly.
For instance, if you have{{JAH|Journal of Fake Things}}
, it produces
{{
R from...}}
You can then click what type of link this is (e.g. {{ R from former name}} that redirects to the current name of the journal, {{ R with possibilities}} if it's a redirect to a publisher...) to pre-populate a redirect creation.
And if you search for the ISO 4 abbreviation (or some other abbreviation), you can put it back in the template (previewing again), to have
{{
R from...}}
And then click on both ISO 4 / dotless to create it as a {{ R from ISO 4 abbreviation}}, or similar. This is useful for old journal names and their redirects (e.g. Yakhteh Med. J.). Cheers. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 21:29, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Karima Moyer-Nocchi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.
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.

Hi Everymorning! You created a bio for Dr. Josephine Briggs when she was Director of the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health.

Hello IntoThinAir, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

On 30 August 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the entire editorial board of the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health resigned in protest in November 2017 over disputes involving the new editor-in-chief? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hello, IntoThinAir. We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things
you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a
conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the
conflict of interest guideline and
FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 17:12, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited London Conference on Intelligence, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Edward Dutton ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

Hi there,
I work for the AMA, and we are interested in correcting a few factual inaccuracies in the AMA Journal of Ethics page. Since we're aware of the guidelines to not edit pages about yourself or your company, we were hoping that you could serve as an impartial intermediary to screen potential edits for neutralness and tone.
Please let me know if this is something we can pursue or if you know a better way to go about fixing these inaccuracies.

You might find {{ JAH}} usefull. It's designed to be used in preview mode mostly.
For instance, if you have{{JAH|Journal of Fake Things}}
, it produces
{{
R from...}}
You can then click what type of link this is (e.g. {{ R from former name}} that redirects to the current name of the journal, {{ R with possibilities}} if it's a redirect to a publisher...) to pre-populate a redirect creation.
And if you search for the ISO 4 abbreviation (or some other abbreviation), you can put it back in the template (previewing again), to have
{{
R from...}}
And then click on both ISO 4 / dotless to create it as a {{ R from ISO 4 abbreviation}}, or similar. This is useful for old journal names and their redirects (e.g. Yakhteh Med. J.). Cheers. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 21:29, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Karima Moyer-Nocchi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.
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.
