April 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Magnetic water treatment, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Wacko Jack O 09:05, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! The best model for this is at Template:Cite web. I now use the vertical layout as a model, as it is complete Timpo (talk) 14:49, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Road powered electric vehicle

You only cite one reference, the US patent (please remember to identify patents by nationality - we non-Americans also have patent systems). Why do you use the term "Road powered..." when that one ref uses "Roadway-powered"? Please cite more references, and clarify the source of the term. Please also split the article up into sections with headings, in standard Wikipedia style. Thanks. PamD (talk) 09:36, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Carlos Cruz de Castro

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 Carlos Cruz de Castro 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 person or group of people, 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. To all: Noted - Thanks for your help folks!Timpo (talk) 10:13, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} 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 hang-on 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Proposed deletion of Claudio Prieto

The article Claudio Prieto has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. —Ute in DC (talk) 08:40, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of PARVE Charging System for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article PARVE Charging System is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PARVE Charging System until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. RadioFan (talk) 23:55, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Star EV

A tag has been placed on Star EV, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia for multiple reasons. Please see the page to see the reasons. If the page has since been deleted, you can ask me the reasons by leaving a message on my user talk page.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

EVTraxer

I am writing to you as one of the contributors of the article EVTraxer. Please see Talk:EVTraxer. The first part of the article sounds a bit like and advertorial. However, most of the article is a discussion of European vehicle approval. This part is quite well written, but it has undue weight.

The EVTraxer article needs to be sorted out. If there is no interest, then it should be nominated for deletion. Thank you. BsBsBs (talk) 21:16, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Puerta de Hierro (Mexico)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Puerta de Hierro (Mexico), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Puerta de Hierro. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 10:54, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cut and paste move of Puerta de Hierro

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Puerta de Hierro a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Puerta de Hierro (Mexico). This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. • Gene93k (talk) 20:00, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Religious offense

The article Religious offense has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced, OR, not a global perspective, probably impossible to write a generalised article about "Religious offenc/se" in all the world's faiths.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Commenting on talk pages

When you leave a message on someone's talk page, please remember that you should sign it. Please also do the other editor (and any talk page stalkers) the courtesy of linking to the article to enable them to go therer quickly. Thanks. PamD 08:05, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of iNova page & legal case mention in Imiquimod

A7. No indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events).

But seven minutes? Remarkable! I wonder if it is 3M Pharma agents who remove all reference to its role in this product?

iNova emerged from a division of 3M in Australia and is still in business as a distributor of Imiquimod (variously marketed by several different companies as Aldara/Zyclara/Beselna) although it is now owned by Valeant Pharmaceuticals which has merged with Biovail - so it is a small part of a multi-national (maybe ¿if Australia and Africa is a small part of the world?) the quoted but unlinked Medicis Pharmaceutical is another piece of the cross-ownership puzzle

The deletion

This is what offended:

A USA patient, Richard B*** sued the then (2005) licensee, 3M Pharmaceuticals claiming that an immune response suppression agent had entered his bloodstream and caused multiple health issues. The result was inconclusive^[1] but he claims that the company agreed to alter the information leaflet.

Why 3M should be mentioned (if only obliquely!)

iNova page was a red-ink-link from Imiquimod which product is an immune response suppressant used in minor procedures such as actinic keratosis treatment as well as in more serious treatments.

As with all medicines, it is probably safe provided it is used strictly according to instructions (topical use only). A patient in Texas USA claims it accidently entered his bloodstream via a cut with serious consequences. He sued 3M Pharma, who changed the leaflet to close the case, but he maintains a hostile website which generates anxiety.

Notification of proposal to ban Spanish articles from Did You Know?

Dear WikiProject Spain member,

There is currently a proposal to ban articles concerning a large area of southern Andalusia from appearing on the Main Page of Wikipedia in the Did you know? section. This would affect a significant number of articles within the scope of WikiProject Spain. If you have a view on this proposal, please see Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Gibraltar-related DYKs‎#Proposal for one-year moratorium on Gibraltarpedia DYKs. In addition, you may have a view on an alternative proposal to lift restrictions on Gibraltar-related articles on DYK - please see Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Gibraltar-related DYKs#Proposal for lifting the restrictions on Gibraltar-related DYKs.
