Welcome to Wikipedia and good work

Hi, I'm Oiyarbepsy and I can see fairies.

Welcome and thank you for joining and editing Wikipedia.

This is not an automated bot that placed this message. Yes, it is boilerplate, but it won't appear anywhere if I don't put it there. You are reading this because I've looked at your contributions and it's obvious that we'd like to keep you around.

If you have any questions, please click this link, then hit the new section and rock and roll. I really like to pretend to know what I'm doing here, so I'm sure I'll give you the right answer, and if I don't, you can whack me with a trout.

Thanks, Oiyarbepsy (talk) 00:55, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if this was directed to me, but I just wanted you to know that I lived in San Francisco (home of Wiki) for 36 years, so I saw a lot of fairies, too. American In Brazil (talk) 22:15, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

US Infobox

Hello, I'm just wondering why you remove the Treaty of Paris (1783) line? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omnisome (talk • contribs) 22:50, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to describe my reasoning in my edit summary, sorry if you didn't understand. The reason I removed it was that the Treaty of Paris did not have anything to do with the establishment of the United States. The United States was an independent country and would continue to be one whether Britain recognized it or not (the same way that Israel is a country despite some countries not recognizing it). So the Treaty of Paris isn't really significant in terms of the establishment of the United States, which is what the infobox should describe. Hope you understand.

Are the references adequate now? Can I take off the curation label? Thanks for reading this. I'll try to fill it out over the coming weeks. Bmcln1 (talk) 18:49, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried cleaning up the references but the Ancestry.com one is not really a valid source. Ancestry.com has to get their information from somewhere else and it shouldn't be difficult to find out where. Other than that, the article also needs to clearer about why its subject is significant. But I'll remove the tag for now. SS13 (talk • contribs) 19:22, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A large number of commercially published novels in English is normally taken as notability. Bmcln1 (talk) 11:56, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dalya Luttwak

I'm sorry, perhaps it's because I am new to creating Wikipedia pages. Is there a reason this page was marked for speedy deletion? I'm happy to make any adjustments. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ap0488 (talk • contribs) 19:57, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Yes, I marked your page for deletion because its only reference is the subject's own website. Wikipedia articles need to have notability, and not having outside sources is usually a good indicator that the subject may not be notable. SS13 (talk • contribs) 20:02, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy vs Wait and See

I've declined your speedy for no content at Meiling jin. Firstly, one minute after creation is a little fast, and secondly because there is content - but it's on the talk page. This is an educational course thing, and we do allow them some leeway in working. It's a bit like Scouting - the kids there rarely stay on and become leaders without a break, but some (just about enough) come back later. If people learn at school or uni about editing Wikipedia, they'll come back when the appeal of the pub has died down, the family is growing up, and the telly's getting even more unbearable - or even just when they spot a typo or some vandalism. They'll remember what to do and how. OK? Tag straight away for attack, spam, blatant hoax and copyvio. Give other things a bit more space. BTW I used to work in Edits by Recent Accounts (or Newly Created Accounts - something like that). There, I was often working up to 12 hours after the edit - but I used to pick up a lot of stuff that had been missed by those who were only a minute behind the author.

Temple me

A tag has been placed on Temple me, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo, or other unlikely search term.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Kathleen Murphy (VA state representative)

hi,

you moved the page Kathleen Murphy to Kathleen Murphy (politician) on the grounds that: "a state representative is really not that important. My home state of NH has over 400. The majority around the country don't have their own individual Wikipedia articles."

In Virginia, state delegates are important. there are 100 state representatives and 8.3 million people, with each Delegate representing over 80,000 people. Additionally, many many other VA state delegates have their own Wikipedia pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Members_of_the_Virginia_House_of_Delegates

I don't see why you changed the article from Kathleen Murphy to Kathleen Murphy (politician). It seems to have just made the process for voters to find information more difficult.

Oghitta420 (talk) 03:14, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's a notability issue. The Virginian politician holds no relevance to anyone other than the 80,000 people she represents. Kathleen Murphy the businesswomen directly controls assets worth over

$1,700,000,000,000; and she consistently ranks as one of the most influential and powerful businesswomen in the world. I encourage you to do a quick Google news & image search for "Kathleen Murphy". The majority of the results are of the businesswoman. A normal Google search will give mostly results about the politician, but seemingly just because of Wikipedia results and her own campaign website. Though she is no doubt notable, I think she is not as notable as the businesswoman (though even if she is, she is certainly not so much more notable that a search for "Kathleen Murphy" should return the user to her page). SStephens13 (talk • contribs) 18:00, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I see that that is well and good, but the first 13 Google results are for her. One has to go well into the second page to get to the businesswoman. It seems silly to have to redirect users. The majority of searchers will likely, then, be searching for the Virginian rather than the exec. I just want to revert to the idea that if it aint broke, no need to fix it. Oghitta420 (talk) 21:29, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think your results must be due to the fact that you are in the Virginia area, and they are location driven results, as only 5 results on the first page for me are for the politician, while 3 are for the businesswoman. And virtually all the image results on the top of the page are of the business woman. After a quick Google Trends search, it seems that the businesswoman is the most searched for online and therefore I would suggest that she is definitely the more notable of the two. See for yourself: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%2Fm%2F03c8bkt%2C%20%2Fm%2F012m5sxq&cmpt=q&tz=Etc%2FGMT%2B4 SStephens13 (talk • contribs) 00:33, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you move this page? Surely there is nothing against using diacritics in article titles, especially when she uses it herself. Nohomersryan (talk) 01:20, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Though personally I believe the use of diacriticals in personal names in the English language is always inappropriate, upon finding examples of this spelling in various English language sources and after reviewing Wikipedia:Manual of Style I have switched it back.

oar hockey team

It is actually the Russian national ice hockey team participating. They are credited as qualifying on the official olympic site, and oar is shown to have the ranking points of the russian national team. It is the NOC that is banned, not the participant. For the hockey teams we link to the national teams, just like it is still okay to link to Andrey Larkov (for example) when he competes in skiing we also link to the actual competitor in hockey. They are scoring ranking points toward qualifying in the next olympics for the Russian national ice hockey team.18abruce (talk) 22:57, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
