Disambiguation link notification for November 25
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rosetta Jane Birks, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mary Lee. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:37, 25 November 2014 (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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Susan Neuhaus


A tag has been placed on Susan Neuhaus requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about 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.

"Wikibomb" event
Hello. I'm contacting you about a "Wikibomb" event held in Australia, which I understand you may have been involved in.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have gone brilliantly - a lot of the pages created weren't that great and have needed further editing, or ended up getting deleted (I think one got recreated) for being copyright violations. This has been discussed in a discussion thread here. My impression is that a lot of the new editors involved now have a pile of messages on their talk pages asking who they are or if they're some kind of spam merchant. I think as a result that they may find this very confusing and frustrating.

If you have one or know who does, could you post a list of editors participating in the event and the pages they created on the ANI thread so that their articles can be followed up? Thanks. Blythwood (talk) 00:57, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Melanie Bahlo, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 02:58, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Susan Neuhaus
Hi Salamanda. I noticed that you seem to have stirred things up with a Science Week event in Adelaide. Sorry about that. I am also from Adelaide. I had a look for info about Susan Neuhaus and have created Draft:Susan Neuhaus based on your deleted article (I am an "administrator" so can see into the deleted files) and the first page of Google hits about her. I also found a couple of references to her already in Wikipedia, so made them active links to Susan Neuhaus. I have found that scientists are surprisingly difficult to demonstrate wikinotability for compared to sportspeople or politicians, but it is possible. I don't have time to extend this draft now (I think it would have easily avoided Speedy Deletion), so you are welcome to expand it. Some time, someone else (as I am now "involved") should move it to article space and undelete the earlier versions to show that you started the article. Please don't feel too discouraged by this experience. --Scott Davis Talk 11:28, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Maree O'Keefe


The article Maree O'Keefe has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * See WP:Notability (academics) for requirements.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.
