Speedy deletion nomination of John Thompson (acquitted murderer)
A tag has been placed on John Thompson (acquitted murderer) 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. 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  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 05:06, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Greetings and thank you for your contributions. I just wanted to point out that you should be careful not to copy material from copyrighted sites into Wikipedia articles, as you did with Ray Strachey. I have cleaned up the article and removed the copyrighted text. Regards, PDCook (talk) 18:29, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I thought I had edited it enough not to infringe. You have undoubtedly made the article much better.

Proposed deletion of East Park, Hull


The article East Park, Hull has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No indication of how this might meet notability guidelines. Lacks citations to significant coverage in reliable sources.

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  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Hi, I have just had to remove your addition to this article as it is a copyright violation of the information on the Hull City Council web site. You cannot just copy and paste in to wiki material from the internet, you have to rewrite it in your own words and add references back to the place that you located the information. I have made a start on the page by adding in the detail on the grade II listing with reference. Thanks.Keith D (talk) 14:13, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Robert Barnabas Brough
Hi. Thanks for your contribution to the article. I've removed it for a couple of reasons. First the story in the Welcome Guest was not written by Brough by somebody called Constance Chesterfield (see page 308). Second, there is no indication that this was the first reference ever. It might well be, but your research is not enough. See WP:NOR for more details. We need a reference from a reliable source making the point. Sorry. However, thanks putting the full date of birth/death in the lead paragraph. Great idea!! --Slp1 (talk) 17:07, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

No big deal - Brough was editor, not author. I did a Google search myself & came to this conclusion: not definitive I know, but highly probable

Tapton Hall
The Eccleshall to which the link goes is in Staffordshire. The Tapton Hall website gives the address as Fulwood, so I've changed the info to that. It's always a good idea to follow all your links to make sure that they go to where you expect (eg not to a disambiguation page either)! PamD (talk) 15:49, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Richard Carter (land agent)
Hallo, A couple of points:

1: When you need to distinguish between two people of the same name, you should use a distinguishing term in brackets. Dates should not generally be used. That's why I've moved the stub you created from Richard Carter fl.1846 to the above title. See WP:QUALIFIER for more info.

2: Please check all links you make, to make sure that they go to the right place. Your link to Halifax led to a disambiguation page. I've corrected it to point to the West Riding town. You can "pipe" a link by putting Halifax, or using the shortcut Halifax, West Yorkshire , each of which produces a link which says "Halifax" but leads to Halifax, West Yorkshire. But please don't just leave a link to a disambiguation page.

Thanks. PamD (talk) 13:47, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

Alexander Tulloch
Please take more care with your new articles. I see several of them while Stub-sorting. In Alexander Tulloch you had a link "K.C.B" - a red link because you'd missed the last full stop. There was a link to Henry Marshall, but I don't believe Tulloch was writing with an American footballer. Who was "Dr.Balfour"? You give no sources for the article.

Rather than create a huge number of articles which then need cleaning up, please try and make your articles more accurate and properly sourced from the start. Adding multiple poorly-presented and unsourced articles, and continuing to do so after advice about them, is beginning to become disruptive editing behaviour. PamD (talk) 13:41, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Frizinghall railway station
Hi, I've removed the information you added to this article because 1) it was unreferenced, and 2) it is really not relevant to an article about the railway station. If you have a reliable source for the information, by all means add it to William Henry Sykes. If there were an article about Frizinghall itself, then this would also belong there, if properly referenced; but I don't think there is really enough to say about the district for an article. --ColinFine (talk) 20:21, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of BNWT


A tag has been placed on BNWT requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

Francis Place (artist) - please edit more carefully
Please take more care with your editing - this new article has no sources, and two red links to Victoria and Albert Museum, London and King's Manor, York, and a link to a disambiguation page at Dinsdale. This sort of editing is disruptive to Wikipedia as it means that other editors have to tidy up after you. Please give your sources, and check your links. Thanks. PamD (talk) 08:27, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Addition of information not in the source

Henna in Turkish Culture
You are completely unaware of henna's role in military in the Turkish culture.

I think you are partially unaware of Islam religion also. "Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid" is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God, but instead was able to sacrifice a ram (by God's command). Family would sacrifice a domestic animal, such as a sheep.

Re: Israel/Current events
Hey, regarding the edit, my objection to the wording as such as that while it is a verifiable fact that many consider the West Bank to be occupied, the occupation itself is a matter of POV. An Israeli settler for example may consider the land to be an integral part of the State of Israel. The war crimes part just seemed extraneous, the offer is to block anti-Israel motions in general. -  Chrism  would like to hear from you 12:49, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

As an experienced editor you know how to format references properly - please do so, rather than just sticking URLs into the text as you did to this article and other recent articles. Thanks. PamD (talk) 19:07, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Please tidy up after your actions
In this edit you created a disambiguation page over a redirect. It is up to you now to change all the incoming links to that term, Gupt, so that they still point directly to the film. It might have been better to add hatnotes to the 2 articles, film and trade union, and have Gupt and GUPT as redirects to the two of them respectively. But it is YOUR responsibility to tidy up after a change you have made: please do so. PamD (talk) 08:09, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks yes - I had not realised that there would be that problem.

Jalameh
A tag has been placed on Jalameh, 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.

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   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.

Michael Irving Jensen
Hi there. I was wondering if you had any third-party sources about Jensen himself. We need at least one meet the requirements for biographies on living persons, as well as to prove that Jensen meets our notability requirements. Based on a google search, I believe that he might well be notable, but don't know enough about the subject to be sure. Regards, —WFC— 14:24, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

I don't know any more about him - but am just now resading one of his books (the one cited with A grassroots perspective in the title. However I did find a lot about him via Google. I'll be glad if you can improve the article. Aa42john (talk)::::
 * I've tagged it with a BLPPROD, which gives us ten days in which to find the necessary sources. While what I've seen on google suggests that there is substantial coverage, I couldn't find any third party, reliable sources, which is a requirement for articles on living people. —WFC— 14:40, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Michael Irving Jensen

Copyright problem?
While researching reliable sources for the Michael Irving Jensen, I was looking at the references you provided. It seems to me that much of his "career" section was lifted, nearly verbatim, from his CV at http://www.middleeastawareness.dk/Html/cv.html. Accordingly, I've blanked that section and tagged it as a possible copyright violation. In the event that the article is kept, please do not add this content unless you've rewritten it, in your own words. Tzu Zha Men (talk) 20:06, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Hallo, Please remember to create redirects or dab page entries from other versions of a name: I found that he was already a redlink on a list of FRSs as George Richardson Porter (I've created a redirect), and I've added him to the dab page at George Porter (disambiguation). Also, do you know that you can access the Online Dictionary of National Biography through your public library (but from home): that gives his dates and a lengthy biog.

Responsible checking of links
Hi. I hope you'll excuse my writing to you in this way, but I've noticed that you seem habitually to create imperfect links, and although you've apparentely been editing wikipedia since November 2009 it may be that there are some points which have escaped you. I'll draw examples from your edits to John Baines (mathematician), but this is not the only place problems have occurred. I hope this is helpful to you. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 15:21, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * When editing, always use the "show preview" button before saving. If you have created any links, follow them in the preview. Links should go unambiguously to the right article.
 * It is occasionally justifiable to create redlinks, which go nowhere, but this is advisable in general only if you realistically expect tnat you or someone else will create the relevant article in the foreseeable future.
 * If a link goes to a disambiguation page, as with Cuvier, work out which destination is intended, and use that.
 * If the link appears as red, as with Thornhill (West Yorkshire) even when you know full well that the relevant article exists, try and remember or find the correct spelling, as with Thornhill, West Yorkshire in this case
 * If the link appears as red and you don't known that a relevant article exists, as perhaps with T. S. Davies, search around a bit, because in many such cases the article is there to be found, Thomas Stephens Davies in this case. if you prefer to stick with your original form of the name, use a WP:Piped link like T. S. Davies

Yes thanks - I agree but often feel it is better to put up an 'imperfect' article rather than none at all. Anyhow you are correct. Aa42john (talk) 19:03, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hildenley


A tag has been placed on Hildenley requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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. ThePCKid (talk) 04:32, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
