famousbirthdays.com is not a reliable source
Hi Starklinson. I'm in the process of removing famousbirthdays.com as a source from Wikipedia, because it's not reliable (See Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_153). I noticed that you've added it, and wanted to make sure you understood why it's being removed. If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 18:39, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Dan Interactive Introverts.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Dan Interactive Introverts.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — 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.

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". ''You have been advised about this situation before. Please comply with this sitewide behavioral standard.''

Thomas Sanders
Hi, sorry for undoing your recent changes to Thomas Sanders (creator), but they had a few flaws. Some of the rewording was okay, but trimmed out relevant data that made the context more difficult to understand, putting the article at risk of not establishing notability as it should and therefore being deleted in the AfD it's going through right now. You also trimmed out references, which should never be done without a good reason. On the other hand, per Manual of Style/Lead section, the introduction must be a summary of the whole article. That is, it must be able to stand on its own as a "mini version" of the article. To do so, all the relevant data must be present on the introduction. I don't know why you removed the awards references from the intro, when it's one of the most important data as it's crucial to establish that Sanders is a notable Viner/YouTuber, and you did it twice. You also removed all his theatre and television career from the intro, and that is important to appear too for the same reasons.

About the text of the article, I decided not using the word "stagnant", as references have proven me that that was wrong. Sanders' account was already growing way before the end of Vine was announced. It was growing already from 2015. That's why the references from the internet archive were shown, as they featured how many followers the account had on different dates, and gives a more precise information of how it was growing instead of just saying "stagnant" which is a too vague term and not completely true.

I'm putting this in the discussion of the article so that the debate can keep going there, but I thought I had to tell this to you first, as the undoing was too massive and I thought you deserved some explanation.--Manbemel (talk) 12:27, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Once again, please do not remove anything from the intro. Removing that complete paragraph of relevant data is just wrong and goes against Manual of Style/Lead section.--Manbemel (talk) 12:22, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Mimei moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Mimei, 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Duncan Pain


A tag has been placed on Duncan Pain 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 real 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.

Hello, I'm TJRC. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Zodiac Killer in popular culture, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

In addition, factual coverage of a subject is not a use in popular culture; so even if sourced, this would not be appropriate to include in this article. TJRC (talk) 23:02, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Minor edits, again
Hello. Back in October, I asked you to please stop marking edits as minor unless they actually are minor. I linked the page Help:Minor edit for your convenience and to document what I was saying, so that you would know it was more than a mere pet peeve on my part. Nine weeks later, you're still at it. I don't like to think that you're being deliberately disruptive, but at this point I am beginning to wonder. In any event, if you continue, I will file a complaint. Please stop.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I noticed your recent edit to Flula Borg does not have an edit summary.&#32;Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:


 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. Thanks! jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk &bull;&#32;contribs) 01:34, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Safiya Nygaard. 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.

Please stop randomly rounding the subscriber and views data from the article. It is left that way on purpose and there's no need to insert a vaguer number, neither you have requested for consensus to do these kind of changes as I repeatedly asked days ago.--Manbemel (talk) 14:46, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Oakley by Luke Fontana.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Oakley by Luke Fontana.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link].
