Disambiguation link notification for February 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Boeing B-47 Stratojet, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Subsonic. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 02:31, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Lana (wrestling): you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. w^L^{<speak·check>} 06:40, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting for lack of content

Hello. I saw that you'd posted a "no-content" speedy deletion tag at Bahiridev Temple-Sarde. The article has an infobox, though, and the information in an infobox counts as content. See WP:CSD A3. —Largo Plazo (talk) 11:14, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

on my contribution

Sir, I do not need threats against me for editing out what only is seen as a false claim from a tabloid. I'm fairly new here but I know I do not intend to have a user threaten me. I can give several reasons why it is false, it has only existed via internet. If you look into the real world, nothin much happened but however Wikipedia is a sight that is to be only truthful and accurate information. People should not be given such false claims onboth pages.

CSD#G4

You may wish to re-read Wikipedia:CSD#G4 in the context of Draft:Zeeshan Haider. Obviously the draft is not fit to become a Wikipedia article in its current state, but G4 is not an appropriate criterion for deletion in this case. - David Biddulph (talk) 09:41, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@David Biddulph: The page appears to be bad-faith recreation of a repeatedly deleted page created by the same user. How may this be addressed? MopSeeker Fox Three! 13:44, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is now an incomplete draft, rather than an article. If the draft eventually gets submitted for review, it will be dealt with accordingly; it it gets abandoned G13 applies. If you believe that it meets any of the speedy criteria, then tag it accordingly, but remember that some apply only to articles, not to drafts. Things like copyright violation apply to any namespace. If you are unfamiliar with the various deletion processes other than speedy, see Wikipedia:Deletion policy. - David Biddulph (talk) 13:52, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@David Biddulph: Understood. One tends to be excessively hasty when dealing with disruptive editing. However, G4 does include pages moved to the draft namespace to circumvent the deletion policy. MopSeeker Fox Three! 13:57, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the fact that it is a draft doesn't automatically exclude it from G4, but the fact that there had not been a deletion discussion does exclude it. David Biddulph (talk) 14:01, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@David Biddulph: I used Twinkle for the MfD listing. Does it not perform the process correctly? Is there anything that needs to be manually done? Is the article even eligible for MfD? Apologies for the ignorance.MopSeeker Fox Three! 14:08, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know much about Twinkle, but when I first saw the MFD the task had presumably not been completed, but it apparently has been now. Those replying to the MFD will decide whether it is appropriate, but in general drafts are allowed time to be developed and to provide evidence of notability, providing that they don't violate the more rigid requirements such as copyright. - David Biddulph (talk) 14:17, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: User:Lestrade

Hello MopSeeker. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:Lestrade, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: User pages are only deleted under G7 if the author explicitly requests it; blanking does not qualify. Thank you. Jackmcbarn (talk) 03:56, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Speedy Deletion "El Baile en TVN"

Hi! An article I started (El Baile en TVN) was deleted because you claim there was a copyright issue. You can check on this old revision from where the blog post was published: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dancing_with_the_Stars&oldid=451386226#Chile from Sept 19 2011 (one day before the blog claimed as source).

Clearly, the blog used data from Wikipedia, not the other way around.

It'd be nice to not be falsely accused of copyright infringemet :)

Speedy deletion nomination of Joseph cannata

Hello MopSeeker. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1), content (CSD A3),or significance (CSD A7) moments after they are created, as you did at Joseph cannata. It's best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks..

@Hullaballoo Wolfowitz: Understood. As has already been shown in some previous incidents, I tend to be excessively hasty and deletionist when patrolling new pages. From now on, I will try to wait approximately 10 minutes after the creation of a page before applying the aforementioned criteria. Is this advisable? If not, how should such situations be managed?MopSeeker Fox Three! 02:52, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing Vechoor church, MopSeeker.

Unfortunately MrX has just gone over this page again and unreviewed it. Their note is:

This page should not have been marked as reviewed. It has not sources and very little context. It may be helpful to read WP:NPP.

New Page Patrol

We appreciate you enthusiasm but NPP is a serious opration and needs a high standard of quality. Based on a review of your patrols, I do not think yu have sufficient experience to be patrolling new pages yet.

Speedy delete nomination of messesarymist bulacan

Hello MopSeeker. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1), content (CSD A3),or significance (CSD A7) moments after they are created, as you did at Messesarymist bulacan.

AfterOtso06 (talk) 01:09, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@AfterOtso06: Sorry for this. After being warned previously, I have attempted to implement the suggested delay during patrols. In this case, I was not aware that the page had recently been created, as I had already begun waiting out the delay, during which I performed several other actions, after which I returned to the page and tagged, assuming that the requisite delay had already passed. How can situations like this be prevented during a patrol? I have no intention to bite newcomers, or to appear as though I am doing so. Thanks, MopSeeker Fox Three! 01:56, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As many times as a page on Bulacan had been attempted to be created, you were fully justified to put an A7 tag on the article so quickly after the attempt at recreation. —C.Fred (talk) 02:03, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred: Thanks for the clarification. At that time, I was not aware of that situation, and was performing a routine speedy deletion nomination. MopSeeker Fox Three! 13:55, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Uttar Pradesh Sainik School, Lucknow

I noticed you nominated the article on Uttar Pradesh Sainik School, Lucknow for speedy deletion. It's a moot point now, because there was already an article on that topic, so I turned the page into a redirect, but I wanted you to know that the rules for A7 speedy deletion (significance) specifically exempt schools and other educational institutions. It's a rule I hate, but there it is. I have found that the only way to deal with bad school pages is to PROD or AfD them. Even then it's difficult, as institutions of higher education are presumed notable, and many people extend that to high schools as well, but sometimes it works. In any case, thank you for trying to keep bad pages out of Wikipedia. ubiquity (talk) 14:44, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Restored deleted material to David Lisak article

The research reported in this article is controversial, and an account of the controversy is needed to fairly represent the status of the scholarship. The fact that the criticism is focused on one source (Reason.com) was noted. Lisak's research was fairly represented, at much greater length than the controversy. The criticism is not "undue" since it is a valid academic controversy. Much of what was deleted was included in the original article, so deleting it makes no sense unless the idea is to protect the article's subject from criticism that is happening beyond Wikipedia.
