Speedy deletion nomination of Karen Jamieson


A tag has been placed on Karen Jamieson 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, but it 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.

Please stop un-argumented anti-LGBTQ, anti-Western and anti-Ukrainian removals in the List of Ukrainians
Hello, I'm 2601:646:8500:2DD0:8C77:6DE6:BCBF:E371. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Please stop un-argumented anti-LGBTQ, anti-Western and anti-Ukrainian removals in the List of Ukrainians.

If you have anything to say about these important matters, please explain your POV and arguments in the Talk of the article first.

Be a good Wikipedian, please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:646:8500:2DD0:2969:FD74:7C55:F05E (talk) 04:26, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Please place user warnings
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Btw, do you know Twinkle? It makes reverting and warning a lot easier. Victor Schmidt mobil (talk) 18:11, 28 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi . Thanks for your comments. I will start warning vandalizing users when I revert their edits. And yes, twinkle does seem the way to do that easily. BTW I'm using this page to find likely vandalism. Geordie (talk) 18:35, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

I wrote something on the "edit summary" which I guess you "gods" don't look at despite constituting what I done as vandalism and reverted instantly like "big brother". Moments like this are probably why I don't donate to Wikipedia. Just a thought.

Answering help me requests
I'm glad you're watching for help me requests but part of our responsibility as helpers is to try just a bit harder to actually figure out what someone is asking for help on. It's all too common for there to be no obvious question asked and, yes, it's legitimate to turn that into a -nq. But oftentimes, it's possible to take a look at the requester's contribution history and see the open issue that they are likely asking about. You can see what I did at User talk:FranklinWilliam and at Talk:2017 Jewish Community Center bomb threats. Looking at their post on User talk:MJ94, you can see that they say they're 93yro and new to Wikipedia, so probably could benefit from whatever extra help we can provide. Please consider this suggestion as akin to WP:DRIVEBY.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 23:15, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
