July 2014

Hello, I'm Ronz. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

See also WP:COI in case it might apply. --Ronz (talk) 15:32, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for keeping Wikipedia clean. I didn't consider a link from Wikipedia to Wikibooks to be promotional any more than a link from one Wikipedia article to another. Agnerf (talk) 05:00, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Kalyptic

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 Kalyptic, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

The page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. (See section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.
It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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.

This appears to have been automatically generated. I have changed it to a redirection.Agnerf (talk) 09:28, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for changing it in to a redirect, it was not an automated edit however I tagged it for deletion because I thought it complied with section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion. No problem changing something in to a redirect but in the future try not to delete speedy deletion templates or just use the "preview" button to ensure you don't make mistakes.

Democracy

Making an unsourced claim and adorning it with a {{cn}}-template is not a good way to go about things. It's still an unsourced claim and should not be in the article in the first place. I have removed the it for that reason. When you have sources that support it, feel free to reinstate it. Kleuske (talk) 13:37, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I know. I didn't make the unsourced claim, I shortened it and added the cn template.Agnerf (talk) 13:53, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Regality theory for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Regality theory is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Regality theory until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

I am sorry about nominating regality theory for deletion, I do understand it's something you worked very hard to create. I know it's tough to see wikipedia delete your life's work as "insufficiently notable", but there are very good reasons things are done this way: to make sure there's adequately broad examination of an idea so that our summary can be truly fair and accurate. And I wish you the best of luck in further establishing the theory and expanding it. I also hope to help you build an excellent article here if it ever takes off, and we get further analysis by other scholars to incorporate. Best of luck with your research. i kan reed (talk) 16:06, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the nice words i kan reed. I understand why the rules must be strict. I keep working on it. Agnerf (talk) 16:22, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

March 2021

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 shown interest in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has enacted a more stringent set of rules. Any administrator may impose sanctions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. 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. Djm-leighpark (talk) 16:14, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, since you commented on it a while back: denormal number has been renamed to subnormal number Martin Kealey (talk) 01:33, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Talk:Bellicose, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Democracy into Mediatization (media). 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. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:15, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for noticing. I wrote most of the text of Mediatization (media) as well as Democracy#Importance_of_mass_media. That's why they are similar. I don't think it requires attribution when both texts have the same editor (WP:Copying_within_Wikipedia#Where_attribution_is_not_needed). The {{Further}} hatnote links from Democracy#Importance_of_mass_media to the longer explanation at Mediatization (media). Agnerf (talk) 06:39, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
