Help me!
Please help me with an article I wrote earlier this afternoon. Only about half of it ever appeared on the preview page, but I submitted it anyway. Now it doesn't appear except as a draft. Is there a problem with the system or have I done something wrong?

 * It appears there was a broken tag at the end of a footnote. Thus everything afterwards was considered to be a part of that same footnote, and not displayed properly. Arthur goes shopping fixed that. Now everything should appear as intended. Huon (talk) 20:39, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Robert Drummond Balfour


A tag has been placed on Robert Drummond Balfour, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Disambiguation link notification for August 6
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited D. J. Bartholomew, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Oakley ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/D._J._Bartholomew check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/D._J._Bartholomew?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Nomination of Wynn Bagnall for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Wynn Bagnall is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Wynn Bagnall until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Lettlerhello • contribs 23:08, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Tony Claydon
Thank you for your message. I've added s 'citstion needed' reference to Tony Claydon being an OBM. The school archivist should also be able to provide a reliable reference. I don't understand why Wynn Bagnall was deleted as he has obituaries in several US and Canadian newspapers and the article was brilliant. I didn't see that Bagnall had been nominated for deletion until it was too late AlexdeGrey (talk) 08:38, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Well, I thought I may have an uphill task arguing for his retention. As the sculpture itself doesn't have WP entry, it might be difficult to persuade them that the model should have one. It shows how perceptions of notability change over time. In the aftermath of WWI the death of someone like Bagnall would have a lot of resonance; we are told that we shouldn't forget these people, but obviously a lot of them will be.Ndstead (talk) 12:39, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
