Wikipedia:Fifteen Year Society
Would you want an invitation to join the above? Jackiespeel (talk) 18:02, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * , been pondering how to reply to this… (Thank You); it is an interesting reminder. Less about a badge and more an observation of time (and life) passing—Wikipedia and along with OpenStreetMap one of the few electronic databases that will likely survive long-term.  I guess I should accept    —Sladen (talk) 07:28, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * We joined WP under our names fairly close together. So what do I do with - it is not clear.
 * There is also a 20 year society. Jackiespeel (talk) 11:55, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

 * usually it makes sense to develop new articles via Draft: space (often taking months to work up an article). In this specific case, it seemed sensible to skip over Draft: space—on the basis of the strength of the 1950 newspaper material—and the existence of articles in other languages.  I'm happy to be corrected should that judgement call prove incorrect.  (The individual would appear to be notable across a timespan of 80+ years.) —Sladen (talk) 18:59, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I see the argument, although not fully sure that I agree with it. I'm still a bit uncomfortable with the fact that we're using someone's speculative involvement with a famous event as a basis for their own article. I'll reiterate here what I said on the article's TP, I'd lean toward including the information within the Anne Frank article, for now. But, I'm open to further discussion. Striker force Talk 20:12, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm slightly unclear how facilitating the Jacques Goudstikker / Alois Miedl / Hermann Göring art stuff (returned via the 2006 Goudstikker restitution of 202 paintings) would fit on the Anne Frank article. …But I'm open to further suggestions.  —Sladen (talk) 22:40, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * With the new information, I'm willing to concede notability and, as such, have removed the tag on the article. Striker force Talk 16:36, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hogeweyk


A tag has been placed on Hogeweyk, 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 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, person, or point of view 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/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://trek.zone/en/netherlands/places/631750/hogewey-weesp. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 deleted 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. PRAXIDICAE💕 14:10, 25 April 2022 (UTC)


 * please you help clarify what is trying to be achieved; perhaps myself or another can help? —The Hogeweyk article is ten years old; so any copyvios are likely to be from the Wikipedia article.  (Though I have now reverted a bunch of spammy edits/removal of citations from the last few weeks).  —Sladen (talk) 15:18, 25 April 2022 (UTC)  (nb. the claimed copyvio page even states "Source: Wikipedia")
