User talk:Canlawtictoc

Welcome to Wikipedia, Canlawtictoc! Thank you for your contributions. I am Moxy and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{help me}} at the bottom of this page.

This is an encyclopedia, so remember that it's a necessity to include references listing reliable websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you have used to write or expand articles. Please understand that these sources should verify the information in a fair and accurate manner. However, you must not copy and paste text you find anywhere, except for short quotations, marked as such with quote marks and carefully cited to the source the quote was taken from. New articles and statements added to existing articles may be deleted by others if unreferenced or referenced poorly or if they are copyright violations. See referencing for beginners for more details.

Here are some more pages that you might find helpful:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Intersectionality are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Lou Arab

The article Lou Arab has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Deletion discussion about Lou Arab

Hello, Canlawtictoc,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username JamesG5 and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Lou Arab should be deleted. Your comments are welcome over Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lou Arab .

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not ballot-polls. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. 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.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|JamesG5}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Hi Canlawtictoc, I responded to your comment on my page, but another editor, Bearcat, gave a really great explanation of why I nominated this for deletion, in terms of Wikipedia's policies. I wanted to share this to explain it a little better:

"Spouses of provincial premiers are not automatically accepted as independently notable just because they exist — but the sources here are not coverage about him that establish his notability as a trade unionist, they're sources about Rachel Notley that passingly acknowledge his existence as her spouse. Notability is not inherited, so that's not how you establish a politician's spouse as notable enough for a Wikipedia article — in order to qualify for his own standalone biographical article independently of having his name mentioned in Notley's, he has to have received substantive and ongoing coverage about him accomplishing something notable in his own career independently of who he happens to be married to. We do not have, and are not going to have, articles about Ellie Horgan or Krista Moe or Esther Pallister or Karla Middlebrook Ford or Isabelle Brais or Marcia Higgs or Andrea McNeil or Duncan McIntosh or Sharon Ball either, because they're not the subjects of coverage that establishes their own standalone notability for their own accomplishments either."

I hope this helps with future articles. JamesG5 (talk) 22:37, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A Litany for Survival

I have had to delete this from your user page as it is copyrighted material added to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. Sorry about that. Doug Weller talk 18:14, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Wm. Scott & Co. (June 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Lapablo was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Wm. Scott & Co. and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Wm. Scott & Co., click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Lapablo (talk) 07:29, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Canlawtictoc! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Lapablo (talk) 07:29, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

An extended welcome

Hi Canlawtictoc. Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 15:45, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited John Templeton Foundation, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Britain and European civilisation (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.)

Far too many unsourced edits

After giving you the warning above I went through some of your earlier edits and looked more closely at the talk page. It appears that since more or less the beginning you've been adding unsourced edits and have ignored all the above posts. I can see that you know how to post at article talk pages and noticeboards so it seems unlikely that you don't know about this page. If you are going to continue to add unsourced material despite warnings I'm afraid you can't be allowed to continue to edit. It's not difficult to follow WP:VERIFY and WP:RS and if you are not sure how to cite sources Help:Referencing for beginners is an easy guide. Please respond to this post. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 11:42, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Go fuck yourself how bout that. I have a Ph.D. in classics and you are a resentful little man who has nothing better to do than chase after personal vendettas because your penis is too small. You do what you want you pathetic worm. Instead of telling me WHAT it is you disagree with you, you sit there like a communist commissar, feel so little power in your life that you have to exercise your tyranny on Wikipedia editors. If I were vandalizing, or saying untrue things, fine. But your belly is so large and your dick so small, this is all you have in your life. Grab a noose, will ya, do everyone a favour.

Didn't sign your post? Coward. I'm assuming you are the Canlawtictoc that has been violating Talk Page rules by engaging in WP:FORUM and WP:SOAP behavior. Anyway, looks like you've been more or less kicked out of those areas by serious editors.50.111.24.158 (talk) 10:08, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

November 2019

Hello, I'm Doug Weller. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Dinaric race, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 12:22, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
