Thanks for the Barnstar. It is a bit tricky with faith-based articles or pages dealing with religion - the important issue is that it must be written in a neutral (NPOV) way; many LDS & non-LDS happily work together to create what are fair, balanced encyclopedic articles. Certain words are avoided so that it passes this test of being non-POV (point of view), and that everything is qualified with mainstream, bona fide references. All the best, A Sniper (talk) 02:16, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Adding large numbers of links to pages that do not exits is not helpful for readers. Also keep in mind that Wikipedia strives to be neutral.--dbolton (talk) 17:46, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Most hymns and most people do not meet the notability requirements for an encyclopedia article. Adding large numbers of red links reduces the quality of the experience for the reader. Generally red links should be pretty rare and only link to topics that are clearly notable in their own right. See also Red link. --dbolton (talk) 23:07, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ben Swann


The article Ben Swann has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Evaders99 (talk) 04:39, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

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.

Page move - John Beck
Hi - This is just a heads up that article titles are usually written in sentence case, so John Beck (American Football) should really be John Beck (American football) since football is a common noun. I haven't changed it yet because I'm not sure whether people will like the move in general. Some people prefer the term gridiron football, probably because the game is played professionally in both the US and Canada. I just thought I would give you a shout in case you see the title change. EricEnfermero (Talk) 21:49, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

thanks for the headsup. I agree with the capitalization. Of the three major sports(Baseball, Basketball) in the United States, football is the least that is participated in by Canadians. A professional team doesn't exist in Canada yet e.g. Futbal Americano or any other translation of that phrase is well recognized internationally as opposed to gridiron football. Gridiron football has strong connotation to the penal system.

Speedy deletion nomination of BYU Technology Transfer


A tag has been placed on BYU Technology Transfer, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It 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. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or 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. (See section A7 of 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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. SorryNotSorry ✽ ✉  06:56, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

why was most of the article deleted? the sources were significant. I'm not sure what's going on here.
 * I deleted half the article because the content was directly copy-pasted from the sources. Content on Wikipedia cannot be taken word for word from sources. SorryNotSorry ✽ ✉  07:19, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

then think about that next time it causes an article to be speedily deleted. All the sources were deleted. Edit the content if the deletion of there is a potential of deleting an article.

January 2017
Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with BYU Technology Transfer. 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 talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.

"See also" lists
Hey, I see you've just lately been writing a lot of "See also" lists for various pages, where in many cases the items on the lists don't have much to do with the main topic of the article. I mean, for a lot of them I can see how the one would subjectively remind someone of the other, but that's not good enough grounds to connect them on Wikipedia. I presume you're not doing this to promulgate a theory of your own that they are connected, as that would be WP:OR. Everything on Wikipedia needs to be grounded in existing research. Hope this isn't too much of a downer. —VeryRarelyStable 04:50, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
