Your contributed article, Hate Speech Laws in the United States


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Hate Speech Laws in the United States. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Hate speech. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Hate speech – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Grammarxxx (What'd I do this time?) 23:21, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm CorbieVreccan. I noticed that you recently removed content from Missing and murdered Indigenous women 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 the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

You removed two sources from the article with the edit summary: ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Missing_and_murdered_Indigenous_women&type=revision&diff=899897773&oldid=899882958 Removed inaccurate cite. The fact that indigenous woman are more likely to suffer violence at the hand of non-natives may or may not be true, but that newspaper article did not speak to the issue at all.]'' But this is incorrect. The Ruth Hopkins article contains the text, Ruth Hopkins is a legal scholar and tribal judge, and a WP:RS on the topic. I have corrected this error, but please, in the future, read sources thoroughly before considering removing them. Editors have put the sources there for a reason. When in doubt, consult with experienced editors on article talk. Best, - CorbieV  ☊ ☼ 23:34, 2 June 2019 (UTC)


 * I forgot that Twinkle (the page patrol software) says to reply at my talk. It's better to keep these conversations in the same place. You wrote on my talk page:


 * The sources you call "previous...inadequate" and the sources you call "new...better quality" are the same sources. They are the same sources you and the other new account removed and misrepresented. That's why you were reverted and warned. Re-read the original notice above. - CorbieV  ☊ ☼ 18:28, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Corbie, one of the nice things about Wikipedia is that it tracks changes, so that it is quite easy to show that the source attributions were changed in response to my edits. That being said, the page has been updated substantially since our discussion. And the minister of aboriginal affairs comments have been included. Have a nice day. Joshywonder.
