User talk:SwineHerd

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like it here! Here are a few important links for newcomers:

Reliable sources, CITE, WP:V and WP:NPOV How to edit a page; How to develop articles; Editing tutorial Manual of Style; Writing better articles The five pillars of Wikipedia Editing by consensus – working well with other Wikipedians

If you'd like some help with editing or otherwise, you can sign up at the new users log, post a question at the Help Desk, or ask me on my talk page.

Please sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. It is a good idea to read the most recent entries at the bottom of the Talk page of an existing article before making major changes to it, to see if your proposed change has been discussed before. Before I make a major change to an article, I often make a proposal on the Talk page to see if anyone minds.

Again, welcome! -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:53, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Closing AfDs
If someone other than the nominator has supported deletion, the nomination can't be withdrawn. The nominator can change his/her !vote, but the discussion stays open. AfD is typically a difficult, fraught space, and someone with as few edits as you have closing a discussion means there's always good cause to raise an objection if anyone disagrees with you. I'd strongly recommend participating in many more discussions before attempting a close. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 18:00, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

Let's reduce the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement!
Hi SwineHerd, please allow me to get in touch with you because you have stated sympathy with environmental causes on your user page. I would like to invite you to check out the Environmental impact project page on Meta, where I am trying to create some momentum to reduce the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement. My first goal is to have all the Wikimedia servers run on renewable energy. Maybe you could show your support for this project as well? Thank you, --Gnom (talk) 15:18, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of Joshua Claybourn for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Joshua Claybourn is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Joshua Claybourn (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Notifying you about the discussion, since you have made significant contributions to articles related to this subject. --IndyNotes (talk) 04:08, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Old Arkansas City High School
Hi SwineHerd. We appreciate your enthusiasm, but with only 123 edits to mainspace you are almost certainly not yet sufficiently informed of Wikipedia policies and guidelines to be commenting in maintenance areas. Get more experience by patrolling for vandalism: when you have made 200 mainspace edits you can enroll at the WP:CVUA and learn all about it and how to obtain a special user right. Happy editing!

Hello!

The Wikimedia Foundation is seeking to improve the community consultation outreach process for Foundation policies, and we are interested in why you didn't participate in a recent consultation that followed a community discussion you’ve been part of.

Please fill out this short survey to help us improve our community consultation process for the future. It should only take about three minutes.

The privacy policy for this survey is here. This survey is a one-off request from us related to this unique topic.

Thank you for your participation, Kbrown (WMF) 10:45, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

World oil market chronology from 2003
I didn't understand why you made this change until I read this. I didn't see how what you did was an improvement, but this makes it clearer.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  21:33, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
