Rebecca Brown Yoder

Why do you keep undoing my fixes? (1 & 2) The DISPLAYTITLE directive had no effect and so I removed it. --bdijkstra (talk) 06:45, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bdijkstra, The reason I reverted to its previous state because, I noticed two times the category list removed from the article page. But, would you happen to know why the category list was removed? Thanks Bdijkstra, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joedav (talk • contribs) 01:38, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the article's revision history, the category list was never removed. Perhaps you were viewing the mobile version of the page? --bdijkstra (talk) 02:13, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I might, well thank you so much for the clarification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joedav (talk • contribs) 03:51, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Rebecca Brown Yoder

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 Rebecca Brown Yoder, 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:

It appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rebecca Brown (missionary). (See section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) If a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.
Hello, Joedav. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.Deb (talk) 08:43, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I got your message. Contrary to what you say, it's obvious that Rebecca Brown Yoder is the same person as Rebecca Brown (missionary). If you were able to see the latter article (which you can't, because only administrators can see deleted pages), you would know this. If you want to recreate the article, I recommend you do so in draft space (see Wikipedia:Articles for Creation) and submit for review by more experienced editors.
