Hello PaleheadedBrushfinch, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have recently shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
tag from
Tricia Rose, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add {{proposed deletion}}
back to the file. Instead, feel free to list it at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

I can't tell yet whether this is a disruption-only account that needs to be blocked indefinitely, or whether you're being bold but wrong-headed, so I've blocked initially for 24 hours to stop you from tagging women's articles as self-promotion. Those tags need to be reverted, preferably by you. Can you explain what you were trying to do? SarahSV (talk) 14:56, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
If you plan on PRODing 100s of academic articles then I will revert them (done) and your next step is to start an WP:AFD as SlimVirgin already said. I look forwarding to working with you in AfD. And if your AfD noms are of clearly notability individuals, well, you better do your research first and read AFD requirements carefully before making mass AFD. No one likes being disrupted with lots of frivolous AfDs. -- Green C 15:38, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:
Can I have intervention from another administrator? “I'd like to unblock you, but you seem to be standing by what you did.” - SlimVirgin. Do you want me to say I’m sorry? PaleheadedBrushfinch ( talk) 15:36, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
Decline reason:
I just looked at your most recent twelve PROD nominations. All twelve are inappropriate nominations, and in spite of your claim I see no evidence that any of them are self-promotion, which would necessarily define as autobiography. I do not care whether you say "sorry" or not, but I do care that you understand your repeated error with these nominations, agree on this page that you have done so and commit to making no further erroneous nominations of this type.---- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 16:09, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
As a non-admin I would encourage some sort of sanction to stop mass PRODing of 100s of articles. The editor claims to be a "fast reader" but that isn't how PRODing is supposed to work, you not only read but research to make sure there are no more sources that can be added. PRODing is a last-resort after all other options are exhausted. Almost all these articles are by people who write books and most books have book reviews, for example. -- Green C 15:43, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
Note: Just a datapoint about the care this editor takes: not only did he add a PROD tag] to Ronald Takaki -- which is bad enough -- his rationale was "Self-promotion" -- for a man who's been dead for nine years. -- Calton | Talk 23:02, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello PaleheadedBrushfinch,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Bella's Gentlemen's Club for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Hello, PaleheadedBrushfinch,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Bella's Gentlemen's Club should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bella's Gentlemen's Club .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks,

I'm removing your reference to Grace Quek (Annabel Chong) on the grounds of innaccuracy.
That point is valid in itself but needs to be properly tied into the article. I gather from the talk page here that you have not been very good at that in your short editing history. Perhaps you need to get to know the guidelines better first. Sweetpool50 ( talk) 09:21, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi,
Well done for starting the Nevada brothel articles. Whilst I don't want to 'take over' the articles you started, I though Bella's needed some quick improvement to try and save it from deletion.
Give me a shout if you need any help. Cheers -- John B123 ( talk) 20:40, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello, PaleheadedBrushfinch. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Canadian Guild for Erotic Labour".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, 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. Dolotta ( talk) 23:39, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
