User talk:Darkohead

Welcome
Hello, Darkohead, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

There is a page about the verifiability policy that explains the policy in greater detail, and another that offers tips on the proper ways of citing sources. If you are stuck and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! Dougweller (talk) 09:09, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

The short twentieth century ‎
Hi -- this really needs citing, and it would be great if you can give at least one citation. I deleted the bit about 1992, see my edit summary -- in fact, that read as though it was your own personal opinion. Was it? Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 09:12, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Asian Century. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Chevy  Impala   2009  17:37, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information.

Proposed deletion of Third Pole


The article Third Pole has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * the nickname doesn't warrant an article, could be added the mt. and plateau articles

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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Lәo(βǃʘʘɱ) 16:37, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Repost of Category:World cities
A tag has been placed on requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, place the template hangon underneath the other template on the article and put a note on the page's discussion page saying why this article should stay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you.

Swine flu edits
Since I removed all your edits which you just put back, I'll explain to avoid a public edit conflict:

The removal of your edits had nothing to do with censorship. There were too many that were not useful and it was more logical to just revert to the last version before you started. The way you did the edits made it too time consuming to try to fix them one by one. Here are a few examples:

1. You added cite tags in a few places, but the citations are both in the article, so it was clear that you didn't take to time to read much more than the lead. As you may or may not know, the guidelines say to keep cites off the lead when the details and sources are already in the body, except where the facts are likely to be controversial. The lead is just a summary of all the material in the article.

2. You added the Obama visit in such a way as to imply linkage. There may in fact have been such a link, but you can't just throw that in because you personally assume it. In any case, mention of his visit would have to be cited in the article, and any linkage suspicion would need a source besides your own phrasing.

3. Writing "around the planet" sounds strange and unprofessional. This is not an astronomy article.

4. Your Borderfirereport source is a blog, as you know, and the authors are writing mostly opinions and commentary. So to use that as your source for something relating to martial law makes it appear thay you are trying to push some personal fear agenda. If you want to go outside the MSM you need to be careful because your sources will be your badge to other editors. Adding categories for "political controversies" should be explained in the summary as to what you're referring to.

I see two options to fix the above: a) You fix them; b) Someone else will fix them one at a time, instead of the entire change, so that each and every revert is explained and justified to other editors. The negative to that option is that it will look like you added a continual string of weak contributions. Your choice. --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 00:41, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Unconstructive edits
Hi. Your account appears to be making lots of unconstructive edits. Wikipedia is not for ideological struggle. Adding false information or hoaxes, such as your edit to 2009 flu pandemic suggesting that the UN can suspend US sovereignty, can be viewed as vandalism. Please stick to verified facts and avoid personal opinions. Jehochman Talk 02:31, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Skate4Cancer
A tag has been placed on Skate4Cancer 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 an organization or company, 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 organizations and companies.

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.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Darkohead! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person.

In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:
