Welcome!

Hello, WIYC, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as The West Indies Yacht Club, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of The West Indies Yacht Club

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 The West Indies Yacht Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, WIYC. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article The West Indies Yacht Club, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Murph9000 (talk) 10:29, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adding burgee to Yacht Club list

Hi! I'm Aloha27. I noticed you attempted to add information to List_of_yacht_clubs but the method used to add the burgee did not conform to the rest of the page and it turned out to be a double entry on that page, so I've removed it for now.

If and when the new WIYC article is deemed to be of sufficient quality for inclusion in the project, we can use Template:Yachtclub to get the burgee information done. Regards, Aloha27 talk 21:53, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "WIYC", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent an organisation (West Indies Yacht Club), rather than an individual, see WP:CORPNAME. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. --David Biddulph (talk) 09:49, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: West Indies Yacht Club (June 12)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Your only third-party reference is a book from 1982, and most of the article is unreferenced. The article must be built from information found in third-party sources (newspapers, magazines) that are independent of the subject of the article. Those sources must be referenced in-line with the text they support. No un-referenced material is allowed.

Speedy deletion nomination of Old Planteur Rum

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 Old Planteur Rum, 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 be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It 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. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

August 2016

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Waterford-Mandeville Plantation, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. You removed the notability & third-party tags without doing anything to resolve the problems. On the other hand you left the uncategorised tag which you DID resolve. Please take care and observe the need for a neutral point-of-view - this is why the caution you were given about COI is so important. Cabayi (talk) 10:22, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Help me!

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Please help me with redirecting the Wiki page "Waterford-Mandeville Plantation" to the wikipedia page "Waterford-Mandeville Family". Thank you very much. John Ransdale.

JohnRandale72 (talk) 13:47, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Please put in a request at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects. Usually registered users can create redirects and pages normally, but something is preventing this from happening today. I curerntly have the same question. —Ecstatic Electrical, 20:45, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

John, there is already a page at Waterford-Mandeville Plantation. The article text already links to Waterford-Mandeville family. What do you want instead? I'm not sure a redirect is the best approach. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:07, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Names of the days of the week, International Organization for Standardization is not the same as the "Christian" calendar. Regarding a biblical text showing Sunday is the seventh day of the week, I'd be interested in seeing one. Please don't introduce factual errors into articles. Thank you. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 17:09, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
