June 2017

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Dhutanga has been reverted.
Your edit here to Dhutanga was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://bhanterahula.blogspot.com/2010/10/meetings-with-remarkable-monk.html) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 14:26, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Mitirigala dhammavasa thero

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 Mitirigala dhammavasa thero 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 real person or group of people, 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. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 15:03, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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

A tag has been placed on Mitirigala Dhammavasa Maha Thero, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. 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".

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. — Insert CleverPhrase Here 20:29, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

List of Theravada Meditation Centers moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, List of Theravada Meditation Centers, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. — Insert CleverPhrase Here 22:35, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:List of Theravada Meditation Centers

Hello, Thagil. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List of Theravada Meditation Centers".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 10:01, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

April 2022

Hello, I'm IAmChaos. I noticed that you recently removed content from List of Theravada Meditation Centers without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Happy Editing--IAm Chaos 15:56, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I got to know that most of the mentioned meditation centers are not actually technical "Theravada". They themselves claim they are not "Mahavihara Theravada" (which is the technical use of the term). They seem to be using the term "Theravada" just to indicate their ordination or teacher lineage.

And also this article seems unsuitable for an encyclopedia as well. Thagil (talk) 20:29, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Thagil. You have new messages at IAmChaos's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Hello, Thagil,

Your article isn't able to be deleted by speedy deletion, like criteria G7, but you can use WP:PROD or WP:AFD to nominate it for deletion. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:43, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Liz, I have PROD-ed it. Happy Editing--IAm Chaos 02:14, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
