Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Proposed deletion of Todd Bezenek
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Todd Bezenek, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No sources cited to establish notability.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. —SV 16:07, 2 April 2009 (UTC)


 * You proposed deletion of the article about me on my birthday back in 2009. How cool!
 * I expect the article will come back someday.
 * I worked on the PhD project that Subu Sastry did. Look him up.
 * Can I write up a Subramanya Sastry Wikipedia article, or am I too close to Sastry? Note: People call him Subu nowadays. I called him Sastry because I met him before he had the nickname.
 * Cheers!

 * How can I find the error in my contribution to the "Windows search" article?
 * I want to know what I had wrong back then. I wonder what it was. Maybe I didn't give a proper reference because I was contributing as an expert. Please let me know.
 * Cheers!

Copying within Wikipedia
You did not identify the source of the material in your edit. It appears to be 2020_United_States_presidential_election. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but it must be attributed.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

While best practices are that attribution should be added to the edit summary at the time the edit is made, the linked article on best practices describes the appropriate steps to add attribution after the fact. I hope you will do so.

I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that need to be crossed. S Philbrick  (Talk)  11:44, 27 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I't is on my todo list for today. Thank you for the heads-up, Mr. Philbrick.

Maybe reconsider?
I saw your edit to your user page. Maybe you should reconsider posting your phone number? It's really not wise; anyone can use it for malicious actions, and it certainly doesn't prove anything about your claimed credentials. If you want, you can email Oversight to request that it be deleted so that it isn't even visible in the page history. Schazjmd  (talk)  18:00, 14 June 2023 (UTC)


 * You have a good point. I assume page histories are not searchable. And this page is not searchable, so I don't have to have this page removed. Whew!
 * I need to change "Phone" to "You know what to do with this". Thank you for pointing out the flaw!
 * -Todd Todd Bezenek (talk) 20:41, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * There are sites that clone wikipedia pages, including user pages. That's why some editors put Template:User page at the top of their user pages. Up to you. Schazjmd   (talk)  20:50, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I thought I read that that the User: HTML files had no-crawl tags so they would not be scraped, hence they could not be cloned. If I remember correctly, it was introduced in 2015.
 * If I'm misunderstanding, please correct me. If you are not sure, let me know and I can take a look at the html source. (I don't want to look at the source because it will take a lot of effort as I don't do that a lot.)
 * Thanks! Todd Bezenek (talk) 04:48, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

April 2024
Hello, I'm NebY. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Hamm's Brewery, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. An edit which you yourself describe as "I'm adding a personal anecdote with a friend from school who visited from Germany" is a clear breach of Verifiability, a fundamental policy of Wikipedia. NebY (talk) 10:03, 9 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Howdy, NebY.
 * If I remember correctly, the change on the Hamm's Brewery page was based on an anecdote from my own experience, i.e., I was quoting myself.
 * I know someone who works for Wikimedia (I worked on my Ph.D. with him), so I often assume things apply to me which do not apply to others.
 * Sorry about that.
