Conflict of interest? I am his daughter, don't understand how I am supposed to add biographical information other than citing very reputable sources such as the New York Times.
I am trying to add some biographical details such as my father was married for 50 years, had two children and four grandchildren. His New York Times obituary substantiates this information, hence I don't understand the conflict of interest. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/18/nyregion/thomas-h-stix-plasma-physicist-dies-at-76.html Also, there are some awards, fellowships, etc. that are cited in the press release by Princeton University on the occasion of his death--which seem to be bounced by a bot when I added to his page. Here is the reference. https://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/01/0430/2b.shtml — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nyc2cents (talk • contribs) 00:24, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited WFBT (FM), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mike Gallagher. 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.

Orphaned non-free image File:Mercuryturnpike.png
 Thanks for uploading File:Mercuryturnpike.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:08, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Unspecified source/license for File:Askamy.png
Thanks for uploading File:Askamy.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 16:01, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Green links to redirects
Re: Your Teahouse response

I can't find the conversation you refer to, but the same topic appeared in the end of January 2017, see the archive:
 * Teahouse/Questions/Archive 572

I gave an explanation in the last paragraph there: The redirection links can be coloured by adding relevant style declarations to your Style Sheet file, either local (say, at en-wiki only) or global (at Meta wikimedia). Here is an example link to my global CSS file:
 * meta:User:CiaPan/global.css

The  declarations make the links to look like these to me: --CiaPan (talk) 06:19, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * unvisited redirect link in color #308050
 * visited redirect link in color #3070A0
 * Okay, thanks. I copied that to mine, which I never created. I should have linked to the response.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  21:27, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * OK.
 * It just crossed my mind I should have put the complete answer instead of a link, in case my Meta CSS file ever disappears and anybody else finds this conversation in your archives. So here it is:
 * Best regards. --CiaPan (talk) 06:02, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi User:Vchimpanzee, thanks for your edit to List of UK Singles Chart number ones of the 2010s, the reason I didn't bother editing is because this article needs a lot of work, in the side images, language like "UK chart topper" needs to be changed to UK number one or number one, the record label section needs to keep with the number of number ones and weeks at number one for each label, because it's falling behind.--Theo Mandela (talk) 00:17, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Funderdome
Just saw the article request you put in Reality TV task force's to-do-list. I see you created a draft in your userspace for it as well. Its still a stub but it probably could be moved into mainspace for more editors to contribute to it if you want. Unless you were planning to wait until you expand it some more. I hadn't heard of the show before now, but it has been on air since last month, so it definitely is worth an article. WikiVirusC (talk) 21:34, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gamil Design


A tag has been placed on Gamil Design, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. Light2021 (talk) 20:54, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of Gamil Design for deletion

Sorry, I can't figure out the template.
Sorry, I can't figure out the clean up template but I probably shouldn't do it myself? If something was added it would have been me/a volunteer. The reviews are only accepted by magazine editors when there is no conflict of interest with the writer. What/where is the best way to alert about new publications and reviews so I'm not dated?

No, I can't remove the template because you appear to have made many contributions to the article.

An editor thinks something might be wrong with this page. That editor won't actually make any effort to fix it, but can rest assured that they've done their encyclopedic duty by sticking on a tag.

Help updating AIG
Hi Vchimpanzee, I saw you made some helpful edits to AIG a while back and I was wondering if you could help me make some new updates. I have a paid COI with AIG, so I'm avoiding directly editing the article myself, but I proposed some updates on the talk page. I got some positive feedback from CaroleHenson and ZCash1104, but I still need someone else to actually implement the changes. Would you mind reviewing my proposed changes? At this point only the lead paragraphs need to be updated.--FacultiesIntact (talk) 22:58, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Intersect (Chuck)


The article The Intersect (Chuck) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Appears to fail WP:GNG for non-notability. Article fails WP:NOTPLOT and all the sources are WP:PRIMARY."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

So far, I haven't found anything to indicate what should be done, but a congressman has twice introduced bills providing money for repacking if the cost goes over what was expected, which it inevitably will. I thought his name looked familiar, and it turns out he's done it twice. But I can't find anything indicating what happened to the first attempt. I just thought someone else could probably give me advice on how to deal with something that currently looks weird.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  20:16, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
