Unsourced content
Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Benjaman Kyle. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 16:12, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Edit warring
Your recent editing history at Benjaman Kyle shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Proposed deletion of Lists of white people


The article Lists of white people has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "This would be more appropriate as a section here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lists_of_lists#People than as its own page."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Barack Obama
Obama was the first African American to serve as US president (and is not merely "considered" as such), and there is no need to qualify it in the lead by. The statement without the qualification is factual; the statement is not about his upbringing. Your introduction of this comment to the lead is not neutral.  General Ization  Talk   15:24, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The statement does not say anything about "victory" for African Americans. It is a statement of fact, and does not require that your evident bias be reflected (in fact, requires that it not be).  General Ization   Talk   15:28, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd say the bare assertion that Obama is the first African-American president without additional detail is not neutral. I'll discuss further in the talk page.--Prisencolin (talk) 06:47, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Every Good Game.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

esports
hey prisencolin, I was sent to you via user:Ferret. This is Rod Breslau/Slasher from world of esports and competitive gaming, and Ferret thought you may be the best person to talk to regarding esports stuff on wiki. I wanted to inquire about the possibility about creating/editing more personal pages for notable industry leaders such as myself and others such as djWHEAT, 2GD, Thorin, Richard Lewis, etc, that I believe fit the requirements of being 'notable' for wikipedia. Additionally, the inclusion of more players personal pages and/or to re-visit the wiki definition of 'esports as a sport' or whether esports players are 'athletes', which I believe was last debated back in 2011 and many things have changed since then (such as the government approving visas designating them as 'athletes'). Lastly, if we could change https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESports from 'eSports' to 'esports', which most of the leaders within the community agree should be the denomination, and the AP last year agreed with this.

Looking forward to discuss any of this! Thanks!

WikiCup 2018 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. With 53 contestants qualifying, the groups for round 2 are slightly smaller than usual, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining users.

Our top scorers in round 1 were:


 * 🇺🇸 Aoba47 led the field with a featured article, 8 good articles and 42 GARs, giving a total of 666 points.
 * 🇩🇪 FrB.TG, a WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points, gained from a featured article and masses of bonus points.
 * 🇮🇳 Ssven2, another WikiCup newcomer, was in third place with 403 points, garnered from a featured article, a featured list, a good article and twelve GARs.
 * 🇺🇸 Ceranthor, 🇮🇳 Numerounovedant, Carbrera, 🇳🇱 Farang Rak Tham and 🇷🇴 Cartoon network freak all had over 200 points, but like all the other contestants, now have to start again from scratch. A good achievement was the 193 GARs performed by WikiCup contestants, comparing very favourably with the 54 GAs they achieved.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Taze
I have again reverted your changes related to Taze. Irrespective of how significant the town in Myanmar may be, it happens to be the only likely target for the search term Taze.-- Jeffro 77 (talk) 11:47, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) It is highly unlikely that anyone would search for Charles Taze Russell by typing Taze into the search box. It is not standard practice on Wikipedia to have redirects from a person's middle name.
 * 2) Whether there may be alternative Romanisations for a locality in Myanmar has no bearing on this particular redirect.

I'd like to think the move of Charles Taze Russell to Charles T. Russell was not retributive or to make a point. But in any case, it is not at all the most common name. Please note that this has no bearing at all on the suitability of Taze as a redirect to the article. The full name appears more than 4 times as often than the abbreviated form on Google Books.-- Jeffro 77 (talk) 03:19, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Entertainer
Please note that Wikipedia is not intended to be a dictionary per WP:NOTDIC, a simple definition is not sufficient to make an article. When another article that deals with the topic in depth already existed, then keep it as a redirect. Hzh (talk) 10:57, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

March 2018
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Japanese people, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 00:31, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

London Homesick Blues moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, London Homesick Blues, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

WikiCup 2018 May newsletter
The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:


 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with three featured articles
 * Iazyges, with nine good articles and lots of bonus points
 * 🇮🇳 Yashthepunisher, a first time contestant, with two featured lists
 * SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with seventeen good topic articles
 * 🇺🇸 Usernameunique, a first time contestant, with fourteen DYKs
 * Muboshgu, a seasoned competitor, with three ITNs and
 * Courcelles, another first time contestant, with twenty-seven GARs

So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Proposed deletion of Lists of governors
Hello, Prisencolin. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Lists of governors, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit edit the page]
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Proposed deletion of List of largest shipyards in history


The article List of largest shipyards in history has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
