Hi. I've just declined a CSD-A7 you placed on Wolayta sodo Agricultural College: Educational institutions cannot be Speedy Deleted A7. If you still feel he article should be deleted please use a valid criterion. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 13:34, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
My source for the recent change to Jorma Taccone's page is the person whose page I was editing. Not sure how to cite that appropriately. I'll also be changing his photo and possibly other items. Havilah123 ( talk) 18:14, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
Sources that are not published (e.g., something someone said to you personally) or not accessible (e.g., the only remaining copy of the book is locked in a vault, with no one allowed to read it) are never acceptable as sources on Wikipedia.The photo needs to be licensed under a free licence, which by default is dual-licensed with GFDL and a Creative Commons licence (you can just choose one if you wish).
Excuse me, but why did you remove my tool's link from the ILBM articles' utilities? What's the difference between my tool and the others?

Lmao tf is wrong with you? I believe is a phrase. I was 99% sure about the edit in concern. That information isn't always available. Hence i used the word believe. As it turns out, my edit was correct. So maybe use your brain next time? AdiRams12 ( talk) 08:35, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Read the Iranica text please. Don't fall for the POV pushers tactics. "Alexander historians give Ariobarzanes a large army (40,000 infantry and 700 cavalry in Arrian, Anabasis 3.18.2; 25,000 infantry in Curtius 5.3.17 and Diodorus 17.68.1; the latter adds 300 horsemen), and their modern successors follow them unreservedly (e.g., Th.

Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially
the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow
post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using
Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to

Hi, you recently rejected my submission of Howard Sachs as a notable person because I did not sufficiently establish notability. I was wondering if you saw the reference from the National Institute of Mental Health entry on the History of Oxytocin that referred to Sach's research. Is this the sort of thing that establishes notability, or are you looking for something else? Should I increase the number of references of this sort? I would be grateful for guidance because I would like to resubmit the article.

I was asked on the IRC help channel about your review of Draft:Erich Reimer. I have two comments:
I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Enthira kaalai. I do not think that Enthira kaalai fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because This actually does exist, and is now cited to a reliable source. It may not be notable, but it was not "made up". I request that you consider not re-tagging Enthira kaalai for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. DES (talk) DESiegel Contribs 04:16, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
(I'm not exactly sure how this works, so I apologize for anything in advance)
I had asked a volunteer to help create a wikipedia page for the Making Headway Foundation (a non-profit that helps kids with brain cancer). They put something substantial up there, but I guess there were problems with it and it was removed (or put back into draft form. The volunteer asked that I contact Wikipedia user DESiegel for help, which I did. He helped reformat the information and removed a lot of it, leaving behind the core information and the news sources for each bit. Based on this, I resubmitted the draft. However, you denied it because there were no changes (but there were a lot of changes since it was first submitted (mostly removing anything remotely promotional)). I'm not sure how to proceed and any specific guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Thank you for the update and I understand your concern. As a complete novice to Wikipedia, I tried to do this myself (and list as a connected person), but I couldn't figure out the formatting. I saw that I could hire somebody to help me with the formatting for a nominal cost; however, that person was very misleading and didn't explain the issues that I am now facing. Originally, I had provided significantly more information for possible inclusion on the page (all with sources from credible media). After I learned that there was going to be a problem, I asked a volunteer to help rewrite the page so that it might be approved. I also was referred to DESiegel for assistance. After that, the page was edited down to what it is now (which is very brief, completely supported by credible sources, and does not include any promotional information). The draft was rejected because no changes were made, but there had been a lot of changes (I can send a document with what was originally up there). I just looked at the draft and I did find one error on the citation, in which a book didn't have the title (our organization was highlighted in Bill Clinton's book). So I just added the title and the pages numbers (maybe that is what needed to be changed in the first place). In the end, I apologize that I didn't go about this the right way. The Making Headway Foundation has been helping children with brain tumors for over 20 years and are one of the largest organization that focuses on this issue. I'm not sure if this merits a Wikipedia page or not. If you think that it might, can you please help. I significantly appreciate your expertise and what you do to help keep Wikipedia credible. I defer to your judgement and am happy to help in any way possible. Thank you for your understanding Daniel Lipka ( talk) 16:11, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

On 24 August 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ticketer, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the introduction of Ticketer ticket machines on Reading Transport buses meant that 11,000 pre-paid cards had to be reissued? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ticketer. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Ticketer), 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.

Request reason:
I'm not sure whether this block is preventative of anything as of such. I was reverting unsourced information, until I made a genuine mistake, as the editor actually started to provide sources to what they were writing. I'm not sure why, then, I wasn't blocked for 3RR yesterday. Today I made a mistake with one edit. At the end of the day, I totally did not expect this. My name isnotdave ( talk/ contribs) 14:04, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
Accept reason:
Mistakes happen; nobody is perfect and we all slip once in awhile. I know you well enough to trust that you'll take a moment and brush through Wikipedia's edit warring and 3RR policies and that you won't cause any more problems. I'm going to accept your unblock request pending your response promising that you'll thumb through those policy pages. I'll also give Ritchie333 some time to respond with any objections to my decision (should he have any). Cheers -- ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 14:20, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

What the hell is your problem Marko012 ( talk) 19:25, 12 August 2017 (UTC) |
Hi. Many thanks; I've just checked, and it has been done already by the editor at DYK who has promoted the nomination to the holding area. Unless anything changes, the hook should be appearing on the Main Page for 24 hours from early on 24th August (you'll receive an automatic talk page notification as soon as that happens).

On 24 August 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ticketer, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the introduction of Ticketer ticket machines on Reading Transport buses meant that 11,000 pre-paid cards had to be reissued? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ticketer. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Ticketer), 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.

Mallampalli Somasekhara Sharma is a notable historian who clearly said Reddies of kondaveedu are vassals to Musunuri Nayaks. Musunuri Nayaks ruled entire Andhra Pradesh and Telangana so definitely kondaveedu reddies they r vassals. How come a dynasty rule independently under same rule of Musunuri Nayaks????? U might be from Reddy community but u need to check whether sources are provided or not. Wikipedia must not be fake Weckkrum ( talk) 17:04, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

13:57, 13 September 2017 (UTC)My name is not dave ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
I'm not sure whether this block is preventative of anything as of such. I was reverting unsourced information, until I made a genuine mistake, as the editor actually started to provide sources to what they were writing. I'm not sure why, then, I wasn't blocked for 3RR yesterday. Today I made a mistake with one edit. At the end of the day, I totally did not expect this. My name isnotdave ( talk/ contribs) 14:04, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
Accept reason:
Mistakes happen; nobody is perfect and we all slip once in awhile. I know you well enough to trust that you'll take a moment and brush through Wikipedia's edit warring and 3RR policies and that you won't cause any more problems. I'm going to accept your unblock request pending your response promising that you'll thumb through those policy pages. I'll also give Ritchie333 some time to respond with any objections to my decision (should he have any). Cheers -- ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 14:20, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
