Eustace Balfour

Hi BasBoes

I don't know what you were trying to achieve with your edit to Eustace Balfour, but the effect was unhelpful and disruptive.

The page had been created only 20 minutes earlier, and was clearly marked with a prominent banner displaying the message:

This article is actively undergoing a major edit for a short while. To help avoid edit conflicts, please do not edit this page while this message is displayed.

I don't see how that message could be any clearer, or how you thought that Wikipedia would be improved by removing a citation from a page which was clearly under construction -- I had last edited it only 3 minutes before your edit.

It took me several minutes to figure out what a reference I had so recently-created no longer worked, and that's time which could have been used to continue creating encyclopedic content.

I see that you are a newly-registered editor, and that you first edit was only 3 days ago. I hope you enjoy editing and continue to contribute ... but please can you take care to ensure that your contributions do not disrupt the creation of encyclopedic content. It would be more helpful for you to concentrate on adding references rather than removing them. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:48, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of XYZTEC

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 XYZTEC, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
