Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion and appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the page's discussion. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Syrthiss (talk) 13:39, 14 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Also, using 'or else' when contesting the deletion of the page isn't very collegial. Just saying. Syrthiss (talk) 13:40, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's discussion. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 13:44, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for vandalism. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Syrthiss (talk) 13:45, 14 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I formatted your unblock request, and deleted your hoax article that you repeated here. Fair warning - if you try to restore that article here, I will remove your access to edit this page. Syrthiss (talk) 14:02, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, am I able to add you as a friend on Wikipedia? I'm really unhappy about being blocked, this has been the worst birthday ever :'( I think I've learnt my lesson now. Let me enjoy the rest of my birthday please.
 * Happy birthday. I certainly hope that being unable to introduce hoax articles to a serious body of knowledge is not something that spoils a birthday ... it's just a website, after all.  At some point you will read, understand, and decide to follow the 5 pillars of Wikipedia.  Until then, I would encourage you to continue your studies.

 * This person may be worth unblocking and watching, since this latest request indicates that he actually wants to help. If he doesn't, he can be reblocked indefinitely per WP:ROPE. Any thoughts? Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:58, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * You'll have to clear it with the blocking admin first, but I'd be good with that, with the understanding that any more shenanigans will result in another block, and also with less sympathy. -- Jayron  32  21:53, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I see he refactored one of my comments...which is a no-no. However, check with the blocking admin.  The pranks were juvenile, and certainly not what one would have expected from anyone over the age of 12.  Perhaps there's hope, however. ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 22:03, 16 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm willing to unblock you if it is ok with the admin who originally blocked you. I've asked his opinion on his talk page. You should be aware that a single act of vandalism, hoaxing, or other bad-faith behavior in the future will lead to a rapid re-instatement of this block, and that it will be much more difficult to talk your way out of it in that case. Hopefully that won't be a problem and you are being sincere in your stated desire to edit productively. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:06, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Replying here as well, that is fine with me. Thanks. Syrthiss (talk) 21:10, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for unblocking me. I promise you that you will not come to see this as a bad decision, I will strive to only do good for Wikipedia. (DylanWhittaker) (talk) 23:14, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (GR game show)


A tag has been placed on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (GR game show) 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 web content, 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Rorshacma (talk) 21:33, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
