"Message to Scientology", "Anonymous", YouTube, January 21, 2008.

Regarding this video, I won't push you on going back and forth removing it and putting it back, re: citing it as a source in the article. But I'm just telling you from my own personal experience of getting articles to Good Article status and Featured Article status - it will be much better for the article in the long run if we keep "Message to Scientology" in the External Links section - and yet not use it as a source in the article itself, and instead rely on secondary sources that discuss the video - of which there are plenty and will continue to be more and more. Cirt (talk) 03:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I assure you as more information about the video's stats become available in secondary sources, it will be added to the article, for great justice. Cheers, Cirt (talk) 05:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding the {{controversial}} tag, smart move - though I doubt it will stop anon-ips and new users from adding unsourced stuff, conjecture, etc. Cirt (talk) 07:44, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I see you have recently created one or more new stub types. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types are proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it is otherwise correctly formatted, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any rationale for this stub type. And please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 01:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

bio page for Pavlova

You need to say more, from the very start, than just "a russian poet'. List her books at least. I'd advise you to add this very quickly, before it gets nominated for deletion.DGG (talk) 06:56, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It got nominated, I came across it while stub-sorting, and I have rescued it for now by a quick google search which found her in NYT. But, as DGG says, you need to add a bit more info. PamD (talk) 09:37, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Vera Pavlova

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Vera Pavlova, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Vera Pavlova seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Vera Pavlova, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Welcome to ARS!

Hi, Jwray, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron WikiProject! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles and content that have been nominated for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable, and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles and content to quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

And once again — Welcome! Addbot (talk) 00:02, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

background

Speedy deletion nomination of Audiomachine

A tag has been placed on Audiomachine 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 an organization or company, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} 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 hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:18, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the speedy tag. It does indeed look like the references establish notability here, and least to the point where it's no longer an A7 candidate. Thanks for your work. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 09:08, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Age and miscarriage.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Age and miscarriage.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Image Screening Bot (talk) 08:20, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Riker's Beard

You may also wish to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Riker's Beard, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

this is a non-notable neologism, and appears to have been made up by the creator of the article

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} 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 hangon 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.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:41, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

March 2017

Your recent editing history at Stefan Molyneux shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Alert notice concerning discretionary sanctions for United States politics since 1932

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

cn tag

You cannot add tags to someone else's userspace essay without their permission. Tornado chaser (talk) 06:43, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And please see Template:Citation needed where it says "{{Citation needed}} is a template used to identify claims in articles, particularly if questionable, that need a citation to a reliable source" (my emphasis). Wikipedia's requirement for verification applies to articles, not userspace essays. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:16, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a CN tag to the sentence "For example, the consensus of neurologists and research psychologists is that there is no meaningful correlation between race and intelligence" in the Wikipedia:No Nazis essay again is disruptive. It is still an essay in project space. You look and smell like a racist with such edits and there is no place on Wikipedia for racists. Legacypac (talk) 10:40, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Paul Joseph Watson‎. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 10:29, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note that this was a violation of discretionary sanctions and such attacks can get you blocked (even without the sanctions) or topic banned. Doug Weller talk 10:30, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It was an objective description of his behavior, without profanity or anything. Not my fault if an objective description of his behavior sounds like a personal attack.Jwray (talk) 20:48, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

September 2019

Your recent edits to Stefan Molyneux could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. You're simply incorrect here. These threats are not persuasive or productive, and telling people to "tread carefully" chills the talk page discussion. If you think something is inaccurate, explain why on the talk page with reference to policies and sources. Nblund^talk 14:15, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your post was clearly meant to have a chilling effect, please strike through or delete it

As otherwise I'll simply have to block you. Doug Weller talk 14:21, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

October 2019

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for making legal threats or taking legal action.

You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia while the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Doug Weller talk 05:10, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your ability to edit this talk page has been revoked as an administrator has identified your talk page edits as inappropriate and/or disruptive.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. If the block is a CheckUser or Oversight block, was made by the Arbitration Committee or to enforce an arbitration decision (arbitration enforcement), or is unsuitable for public discussion, you should appeal to the Arbitration Committee.
Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.
