Speedy deletion nomination of David Notoane


A tag has been placed on David Notoane 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 that 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.

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.

Hello, I'm FMSky. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Alex Gasperoni, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. FMSky (talk) 18:53, 11 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your advice. I've found my mistake when I found nothing backing up my claim of this guy's name being "Alessandro Gasperoni". However, this page also had some formatting errors, so I fixed them.

 * Wait, so you inserted "Alessandro" because you GUESSED that was his name?! --FMSky (talk) 21:37, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * It's not like that. I thought he was named according to the Italian naming conventions.

Cut-and-paste moves
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Mohammed Al Rubaie a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. 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 for registered users, 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 (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). 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 Requests for history merge. Thank you. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:07, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

Bali United F.C.
I warn you, don't change the page if your edit is not notable. Here, winger count as midfield. I already had issues about this before. And I accept it. If you insist to make them forwards (FW), discuss it first in WP:FOOTY. If they agree winger is forward, then you can change it. If you don't do that, I'll report you to admin.

Your CE of Tham Luang cave rescue
Hello. Thank you for copy-editing the article Tham Luang cave rescue. The edits you made were minor, but they do seem to have improved the article slightly. Just a friendly piece of advice though: if you CE an article, try using as little edits as possible. Preferably, keep everything in one edit, instead of a large number of small edits. This will make it easier for others to see what you did. Also, don't forget to use edit summaries. 😉 Cheers, Manifestation (talk) 15:56, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at European Network Against Racism. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 05:16, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Collective Against Islamophobia in France, you may be blocked from editing. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 05:17, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Fathullah bin Rahmat. Grachester (talk) 04:02, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! DoctorMatt (talk) 21:59, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. You didn't provide a source for your changes to the Aldo Junior Simoncini article, and I couldn't find one either. If you have a reliable source please let me know and we can change the article. Please let me know if you have any questions. GiantSnowman 17:54, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Índio (footballer, born 1975), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bola de Prata. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
