October 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Dana Loesch. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Dana Loesch, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dana Loesch

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 Dana Loesch, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. WuhWuzDat 18:54, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

What can I do now?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, please see how to appeal a block.

Where's the beef, Orangemike? This notice says my only substantial edits are to Dana Loesch's profile...well that's clearly not true at all, considering it's not even the first profile I created once I started back up with Wikipedia, let alone the first one I've made "substantial edits" to. I first started the Joe Cash page. Just check the contributions.

If I can change my username I'd be happy to, but I don't see how I'm impersonating someone if my last name is Loesch and I've been repeatedly asserting that I'm NOT Dana Loesch. Dana Loesch isn't a professor...at all...so I'm not sure why the confusion... I'll be back in a few hours. Hopefully you'll be kind enough to explain t me what the deal is. ProfessorLoesch (talk) 19:14, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear, you were blocked for a promotional username. Follow the new block message instructions. mechamind 9 0 19:21, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a little confused here. Mechamind- how did you manage to change my block status - or whatever just happened - if you're not an admin? ProfessorLoesch (talk) 21:00, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't change the block status...I just changed the talk page message. Orangemike accidentally used the one for obscene usernames in the block when he should have used one for promotional usernames. Like the new one says, just use {{unblock-spamun|new username|reason}} and you'll be part way to an unblock. The catch is, you might not be able to edit Dana Loesch related articles. mechamind 9 0 21:42, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Allowing username change to DoctorLecter (talk · contribs). Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking.

Request handled by: Orange Mike | Talk

Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.

The question begs asking: what is your relationship to Dana Loesch?? (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 10:42, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't have one (that I know of). If it's still an issue, I'll leave that page alone (or I'm told you can block me from it or something). ProfessorLoesch (talk) 15:04, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Freddy Kreuger (disambiguation)

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 Freddy Kreuger (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Yeah that was supposed to be deleted - misspelled - and I see that it has been now. Thanks! DoctorFuManchu (talk) 17:00, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of A little bit pregnant

The article A little bit pregnant has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Wikipedia is not a dictionary or a slang, jargon or usage guide. See WP:DIC

While all 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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Deena Brush Mapple

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Deena Brush Mapple, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.waterskihalloffame.com/docs/Bios/Deena%20Mapple.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Edit-warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on James O'Keefe. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. MastCell ^Talk 21:08, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah...my bad. sorry and thanks for the notice. DoctorFuManchu (talk) 21:13, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

O'Keefe discussion page

I think the O'Keefe intro is a hairy monster. Can you come to its discussion page and look at a snippet of a proposed replacement? Ogo (talk) 15:45, 22 April 2011 (UTC) Bump. Ogo (talk) 17:57, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called DoctorFuManchu. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name DoctorFuManchu~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
