Speedy deletion nomination of Ronald Breaker

[edit]

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 Ronald Breaker requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Category:Yale Sterling Professors

[edit]

Hi, I've sorted out the Category:Yale Sterling Professor category. There was no easy way to do it as we can't move a page that doesn't exist to replace a another one so I created the Category:Yale Sterling Professors, repopulated it and deleted the old one as being an empty category. I think it's all OK but you might want to just look it over. Kind regards, Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:08, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

James Spudich

[edit]

It shouldn't be problem. The original was deleted as a WP:PROD so can be recreated at any time. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 15:19, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ronald Vale

[edit]

My apologies - I was under the strong impression that he went straight from the Ph.D. portion of his M.D./Ph.D. program to a faculty position. I will try to find a source on how long his post-doc at the MBL was. Thanks for the note about this! Orangutans (talk)

Proposed deletion of Gerald Crabtree

[edit]

The article Gerald Crabtree has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted 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}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Gaijin42 (talk) 18:33, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Giajin42. The HHMI biography has typically been considered a reliable third party source. I just wanted to confirm my thoughts on that before removing the {{prod blp}} tag.Chrisvanlang (talk) 01:06, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the BLPPROD. Per rule, there has to be no references or external links (reliable or unreliable) in order to add a BLPPROD. As the BLPPROD was added against the rules, I deleted it. Bgwhite (talk) 01:24, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks Bgwhite.Chrisvanlang (talk) 01:26, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Proposed deletion of List of investigators of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute

[edit]

The article List of investigators of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article appears to have no noteworthy content, is an orphan, and has no references or sources.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Warning

[edit]

Information icon Please do not remove content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Edaravone, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 16:59, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV means we talk about bad stuff and good stuff, whatever it is. Every one of your edits to this article has removed negative content. Please stop doing this. Jytdog (talk) 17:32, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Infoboxes

[edit]

Reading this case led me to think about the (few) articles I have created, and to wonder which of them have infoboxes. I found that you added an infobox to Robert Schimke, and it's much the better for it. Thank you. Maproom (talk) 15:03, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Advice

[edit]

Hi. I'm sure you are aware of the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest policy. I appreciate that you are skilled in certain areas and have kept off the topic of your own employer, but you need to understand that the COI guidance also applies to academic colleagues and anyone you may have a close association with outside Wikipedia.Deb (talk) 14:31, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deb. I took a quick look at my edits over the past couple of years. I don't have any COIs to report and I don't have any personal or business connections with any of the articles that I have created/edited. We should be set. Thanks for the cross-review. --Chrisvanlang (talk) 15:11, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I try to make sure people are fully aware because so many newer users aren't. No offence taken, I hope. Deb (talk) 15:30, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

IP Block

[edit]
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Chrisvanlang (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. Place any further information here. Not sure what is going on to trigger a block. Specific to IP: 208.87.232.0/21. Chrisvanlang (talk) 04:27, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I'm sorry, that IP address range belongs to Forcepoint/Mailcontrol, and serves as a VPN. You'll need to disable your use of that service if you wish to edit here. Yamla (talk) 10:45, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Thanks. I think it's part of my company network security. I'll figure a way to work around the VPN.Chrisvanlang (talk) 14:27, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Scott Strobel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Provost. 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.)

[edit]
Philip Greenberg, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!
