Speedy deletion nomination of Kimberly Blanding
Hello Interstate US Route,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Kimberly Blanding for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Esquivalience t 14:15, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Kimberly Blanding, 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: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you.

Thank you for your recent contributions. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you. 220  of  Borg 15:05, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

I-22 map
I see that you uploaded a map for Interstate 22 at File:Interstate_22_map.png. I can't help but notice that you based it on File:US 78 map.png. There're a few issues of attribution though, in my mind.
 * 1) The original map was created by . Since you erased part of a red line off the existing map, you should give him credit and note that you created this new map from his source, not "Own work".
 * 2) The original map was released into the public domain, and your map is licensed as CC-BY-SA 4.0, a Creative Commons license that says you retain a copyright on the work but allow others to use it so long as they comply with certain requirements. All you did was erase a line on a map that is in the public domain, so you should not be claiming it as anything other than a new public domain work.
 * 3) There are a few places where it looks like you couldn't erase the US 78 line completely so you changed its color to match the adjacent Interstate. That means I-20 east of Birmingham, AL, and I-26 near Charleston, SC, have an odd appearance. You should try again to fix that.

Since the original round of maps were made in 2006, we've updated the colors and standards for maps. We also prefer that new maps be made as SVGs instead of PNGs. Those older maps should slowly be retired in favor of newer ones, so we should not be trying to modify older maps to recycle them into new ones. IF they are recycled though, please don't claim a copyright by licensing them under a Creative Commons scheme; release them as public domain. since you retouched an existing file, you should have also used on Commons to indicate the original creator of the source file you used, and you should have linked to that source instead of saying own work.

Obsession with your talk page
We're here to write an encyclopedia, and you should be too. You've made 211 edits, at last count, and almost all of them are to your user page. That's not a good sign.

You might want to take a look at WP:NOTWEBHOST. Your user page is designed to give other editors some idea who you are and what you're doing here. It's not really a place to write content that approximates a fake article or three. Nor should your user page duplicate existing content from articles like it does.  Imzadi 1979  →   23:28, 19 July 2015 (UTC)


 * WP:NOTWEBHOST is part of a policy. Your user page isn't for hosting content just to host it. It's to provide others with some idea about you to foster collaboration. We already have List of Interstate Highways, so we don't need another table someplace listing them and inserting non-existent highway numbers. The table on the article is designed to comply with WP:USRD/STDS/L using the templates designed for that purpose. This fosters consistency across the various lists of highways. That format has also been tested against the Featured List criteria when List of Interstate Highways in Michigan was promoted to FL status.


 * The content on your user page about Jordan Cassatt and Kimberly Blanding is not appropriate for your user page. An article about Blanding was speddily deleted already, so you should not be hosting content about her on your user page. If you think these people are notable and should have articles, try creating Draft:Jordan Cassatt and Darft:Kimberly Blanding first. That will give you time to flesh out the draft articles with sources and content first. Then you can submit them using the Articles for Creation process to have a third party evaluate them for publication as articles without worrying about the drafts being summarily deleted before you're ready.


 * One last thing to remember. The Wikipedia editing community as a whole owns all pages on the site, including your user page. We grant people a courtesy to controlling the content and presentation of their pages, but we still maintain the right to edit or delete any user pages that do not comply with policy. Your user page could be nominated at any time for deletion at WP:MFD, and if a consensus there determines that it should be deleted in whole or in part, those changes will be made, even against your wishes.


 * Finally, you should be willing to respond to comments made on your user talk page, as I have done here. If not, then Wikipedia is not the place you should be.  Imzadi 1979   →   22:27, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Interstate US Route
The above page is clearly not a draft article and more resembles a cross between a User page, a Sandbox and a Web-host, but mostly the latter. Wikipedia does not support web-hosting as already noted above. Please move the content back to your user page and remove all the material not relevant to Wikipedia. If you are unable or unwilling to do this, you may find that your editing rights are blocked. Thank you  Velella  Velella Talk 19:26, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

WP:NOTAWEBHOST
A that section of the policy says, we are not a web host. You copied parts of your user page into Draft pages, all of which have been deleted based on policy. Retaining that content on your user page is also a violation of that policy. If you restore that content again, I will nominate your user page for deletion through WP:MFD. Other editors will weigh in on the situation, and should they agree, a consensus will be formed to either delete your entire user page or enforce the deletion of those sections of it. You have been warned before, so this is the last warning I'll give you. You do not own your user page, the community does. The community grands you leeway in what you put there, but that leeway is not not absolute.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:45, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
