I don't understand
Sorry, but I don't understand your edit summary. I'm looking at possibly asking for a topic ban so it would be good to get a proper response. - Sitush (talk) 17:50, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * First of all, I do not respond to threats so I will only respond to what is important here. I understand that you as an obvious deletionist find it annoying that I am an inclusionist. But what about making a deal, I will make a real effort to make longer and more expanded reasonings for my !votes. If you stop being so POV pushing towards people not agreeing with you. And I mean this as a truce. Regards,--BabbaQ (talk) 18:00, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * it's futile. I have spoken to Babba a few times about his lack of diligence but he has never responded or changed. I never took a glance at his AfD stats until now but they confirm this is an editor who votes keep for the sake of the vote rather than for the sake of notability.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:13, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest
Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:29, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Selami Kolonja


The article Selami Kolonja has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 06:08, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Christina Schollin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tre Kronor ([//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Christina_Schollin check to confirm] | [//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Christina_Schollin?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

 * Hello again! You seem to be neutral, fair, knowledgeable plus talented at transferring only relevant entertainment info from Swedish Wikipedia to English with no conflict of interst involved, not even that of a fan. I've seen several examples of such excellent work by you over time. Would your please compare sv:Christer Lindarw and Christer Lindarw and see what can be done? Seems to me the English article is almost ridiculously skimpy for one of the major lasting names in Swedish entertainment for 40 years, and in both, neither his fine book from last fall nor the big show he's doing right now at Oscarsteatern (his last he says) are even mentioned. The only thing I really like is the portrait photo which reveals his still humble and lovely personality (I've met him). --SergeWoodzing (talk) 21:23, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

You are a great editor and thanking you
Hi BabbaQ, I would first like to thank you for contributing to my articles by leaving sources and your objection to the deletion of one of my articles, as you were the only person to do so. I see that you called an editor a "deletionist" and believe me I hate it when someone deletes a good article, and Wikipedia is truly deserving of an editor like you!

What I might be planning to do

 * Hi, since articles keep disappearing from the List of people who disappeared mysteriously, which is one of main articles which I contribute to, and other articles keep getting deleted as well, I might start making some private Wikipedia pages. One concern that I have is which that two administrators have warned me about, that if I write about missing people and write anything that is libel then I could get sued, so I am currently looking out to find all the ways around this, and there ARE probably around this as well. I have seen on a YouTube video that the person who is running this can let certain editors contribute to their private Wiki pages. You are an editor who I would let edit my articles, so if I do this would you be interested in contributing? Davidgoodheart (talk) 06:37, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
 * - Sorry for the late reply but I have not been active on Wiki that much in recent days. Anyways, I think the chance of being sued are minimal because as long as you write articles that are based on references. Then you are simply writing what already established references have written before. That are mainly scare tactics. Also, crime articles usually gets a lot of opposition here on Wikipedia. Mainly because they are often one event, or have poor references. My best suggestion to you would be to only write articles that you know have established and third party origin. What I mean with that is, do not use a crime page as a reference, use a newspaper ref or a ref from a book etc. From what I can see most articles on that list has actually survived AfD. Anyway I am coming to your question now, I am not sure really what you mean and I am not sure how much I will be able to contribute. But please, when you decide to do what you are mentioning please inform me and I will certainly take a look. Regards,--BabbaQ (talk) 03:28, 27 November 2017 (UTC)


 * - I will get back to you soon, currently I am busy and must gather the information, which I need in my next message to you. Thanks! Davidgoodheart (talk) 05:11, 27 November 2017 (UTC)


 * - Sorry that I haven't gotten back to you yet, but I just want to tell you that today I will be photocopying Wikipedia info go over it in full detail. Also if you check my recent messages with Iridescent on his talk page he and other administrators have warned me about the dangers of writing without protection, one administrator claimed that sooner or later I will make a mistake when writing and could wind up in trouble, and he is right, so if I do this I must be very careful. Also I have corrected a wrong word in my old message to you above as before is said "you" and not it reads "so" in case there was any confusion about that. I well get back to you soon, take care!

Getting back to you

 * Hi, sorry for the late reply, I see that you have sent me a sockpuppet investigation report. I like you have been involved with sock puppeting when I had people create accounts to help me fight deletion, but that was before I knew it was wrong to do so, and like you I have learned my lesson. I do believe you are not guilty of this, but you will have to see an administrator about this. If you need help in any way please let me know how I can help. All the best.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Miss International 2013 contestants


A tag has been placed on Category:Miss International 2013 contestants requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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. — swpb T go beyond 18:29, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

January 2018
Thank you for making a report about on Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Simply being an SPA is not vandalism. You never warned this editor, and his AFD nomination may well have been a good faith edit. Meters (talk) 23:31, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
