User talk:Archivist Robert

Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia!

Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. Below is a raft of links to help you. (I know, unbelievable that a free encyclopedia should have so many rules, but apparently people like to make rules.)

Happy editing!
 * 1) Start at Introduction. But if you're too busy to click through a few screens, try this basic table of how to write Wikipedia's links, headings, etc.  And when you're finished, try the wikimarkup out in the sandbox.
 * 2) You want to make sure you know the Five Pillars of Wikipedia, which are the most important rules. I've summarized them here (although you still should read the full page):
 * 3) *Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Try for accuracy and verifiability, and don't try to create articles about yourself, your friends, dog, school, or company... not, at least, until you have read the criteria for notability and know that what you're writing about meets those criteria.
 * 4) *Wikipedia has a neutral point of view policy. Give reasonable weight to all sides of an issue, without overemphasizing any one view, and without inflating fringe views.
 * 5) *Wikipedia is free content (licensed under the GFDL) and can be edited by anyone. No one is a webmaster (except maybe Jimmy Wales) and anyone can change any article that you make with certain exceptions.
 * 6) *Wikipedia does have a sort of code of conduct. Do not attack anyone, and be civil, avoid making personal attacks, find consensus for your changes, avoid edit wars, follow the three-revert rule, and remember that there are about 2 million articles out there and you don't have to get into any disputes about any one article.
 * 7) *Wikipedia does not have any firm rules. Be bold, because nobody is perfect and you don't have to have a perfect encyclopedia article the first time around.  Don't worry about messing up, either, because all previous versions are kept (check the "History" tab at the top of the page for all those previous versions!) and can be accessed and restored if need be.
 * 8) There is a help page for new contributors. Meanwhile, if you have any general knowledge questions, ask at the Reference desk, and if you want to ask about the wiki itself, ask at the Help desk.
 * 9) If you want to make an article after reading all this (and good job if you did!), see Your first article.
 * 10) When you are making an edit, make sure to use a descriptive edit summary. (If you are reverting obvious vandalism, check the "This is a minor edit" checkbox and put "Reverting Vandalism" or "rvV" in the edit summary box.)
 * 11) When you are on a talk page (after clicking the "discussion" tab at the top), make sure to sign your posts using the automatic signature function, which can be accessed by the "sign your username" link just under the edit summary box, by clicking this button ([[Image:Signature icon.png]]), or by using four tildes - - which can be typed by holding down Shift, then tapping the "~ `" button (just under the "Esc" button) four times.
 * 12) This "getting started" page has a very comprehensive list, if you want to find everything you need or might want to know to start in Wikipedia.
 * 13) If you need any help and can't figure out how to get it, just put on this page below me, describe the problem below that, and someone will be around shortly to assist you.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Aircraft in fiction. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively. In particular, the three-revert rule states that: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.Two experienced editors have reverted you and there is a discussion on the talk page. Refusing to participate in the discussion doesn't help you. Niteshift36 (talk) 02:25, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
 * Another refusal to take part in any discussion? Niteshift36 (talk) 01:08, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The discussion should take place on the article talk page. Niteshift36 (talk) 02:31, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Ivy Hotel


A tag has been placed on The Ivy Hotel requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://web.archive.org/web/20150624025437/http://www.theivybaltimore.com/about-the-ivy/history-of-the-ivy/ and https://www.theivybaltimore.com/history/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 deleted 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. Graywalls (talk) 10:41, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
